Warren County Armco Park's

Solar Pollinator Habitat

We combined renewable energy with native plants at Warren County Armco Park! To visit the area, navigate to the main entrance at 1223 St Rt 741, Lebanon, OH 45036, and follow signs to the boat dock. 


Seven learning stations along the mowed path share the science of pollinators and solar power.
