I very much want to plant trees and plants that sole purpose it to support wildlife, especially pollinators. Can you point me in a good direction for a list of plants that are good for this area?

Excellent question!
Check out these websites, which I’m sure will lead you to many more for great information on wildlife conservation:
Ohio Division of Wildlife on attracting wildlife
Native Landscaping for Birds, Bees & Wildlife (from the OSU extension office)
Pollinator Plants for the Great Lakes (from the Xerces Society which promotes pollinator conservation)
The National Wildlife Federation on creating habitat
Thanks so much for your interest in helping wildlife!
