Cincinnati Zoo and Warren Correctional Institution are partnering the save the planet! WCI inmates have been growing milkweed and blazing star (liatris) in the prison’s greenhouse for the past 1 ½ years, and WCI staff members planted about 300 of those plants yesterday at the Zoo’s neighboring farm (Bowyer Farm). To launch the project, the Zoo provided seeds and worked with WCI’s vocational staff to educate inmates about the importance of pollinator plants, specifically milkweed’s role is sustaining the monarch butterfly population. In addition to providing plants for Bowyer Farm, WCI has planted milkweed on their campus and has raised dozens of monarchs! WCI’s warden compared the butterfly transformation to the belief that people can transform and be rehabilitated. Both organizations hope to continue the collaborative effort to educate, inspire, and benefit the environment.
