A Greener Welcome in Indianapolis

By the time the sun sets on October 7, Indianapolis will have ten acres of new natural area. Even more amazing: it will happen in just eight hours. More than 9,000 Eli Lilly and Company volunteers will plant 72,000 native shrubs and perennials, and another 1,600 trees along a path traversed by 100,000 vehicles a day.

The project, A Greener Welcome, will naturalize six interchanges between our airport and downtown, and emerging public artists have been commissioned to add sculpture to four.

“It's a vigorous demonstration of Keep Indianapolis Beautiful's aim to engage the community in creating a city with a flourishing environment, and an aesthetic that lifts the spirit,” said David Forsell, President of Keep Indianapolis Beautiful.
