Native Plant Restoration
At its Michigan City headquarters, Hitachi Global Air Power is converting nearly seven acres of traditional turf grass into a native prairie ecosystem as part of a five-year restoration effort. The initiative reduces emissions and water usage by eliminating the need for mowing and irrigation, while supporting pollinators, wildlife and soil health. This project was supported by the LaPorte County Soil and Water Conservation District through a Clean Water Indiana grant.
