- Clean and Green "Made a Difference"
The Clean and Green Program "made a difference" on "Make a Difference Day". There were projects in 5
different communities - Batavia, Felicity, Milford, New Richmond and Withamsville. Dozens of volunteers
picked up litter, planted 500 daffodil bulbs and 75 day lilies. "We would like to expand this project
into other communities next fall. It combines our goal of reducing litter in our communities and doing
significant beautification projects. All of the plant material was free - donated by
H.J. Benken Florist and Greenhouse and Grant Farms. We would like to thank our partner,
Keep Cincinnati Beautiful, for their continued support." added Becky Ploucha, Clean and Green Coordinator for
