Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed

FLOW is a grassroot group of volunteers working to protect the Olentangy for future generations. We are composed of 9 volunteer board members and about 2,000 volunteers (in a normal non-pandemic year).

FLOW needs volunteers for a wide variety of activities: 

• Removing Invasive plants from stream corridors and restoration projects
• Planting native tree seedlings
• Planting native pollinator plants
• Weeding invasive plants from our pollinator areas
• Cleaning up litter from stream areas, high quality natural areas and streets with storm sewers
• Planting Balled and Burlapped Trees at School sites and other restoration areas
• Staking trees to prevent impacts from mowers
• Watering newly planted natives
• Digging up our nursery trees to give to watershed residents
• Web Updates and Facebook Posts- regarding how to have a light watershed footprint
