Bradford Pear "Bounty" Program
Reward offered for removing invasive pear on your property
Bradford Pear trees (Pyrus calleryana) escaped cultivation, forming dense thickets that displace native plants and the pollinators and other wildlife that depend on them. It is now illegal to sell, grow, or plant Bradford pear trees in Ohio. To stop the spread of this harmful invasive plant, Pollinator Pathway launched a Bradford pear "bounty" program which offers a voucher toward a pollinator-friendly native tree for each invasive Bradford Pear tree removed by property owners in Licking County.
