NIPSCO

Recently, NiSource and NIPSCO team members partnered with volunteers from The Wetlands Initiative, The Nature Conservancy in Indiana, LAKE COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT, Indiana University Northwest and Little Calumet River Conservation Collaborative to sow thousands of wetland plants across two acres at the MLK South Wetland in Gary, IN. This event is part of a larger vision to revitalize and restore the Little Calumet River floodplain including the Chase Street Complex. The Complex is an 800-acre natural space along an urban flood control corridor in the Calumet region of Northwest Indiana. The NiSource Charitable Foundation is also providing important financial support for these efforts. We appreciate the enthusiasm and hard work of our team members, partners and the community in conserving our natural spaces and enhancing environmental resilience.

Pollinators are essential to our environment because they: - Pollinate 75% to 95% of flowering plants - Are responsible for 1 out of every 3 bites of food we eat - Support healthy ecosystems that clean the air and stabilize soils, protecting them from severe weather - Promote biodiversity At our #MerrillvilleIndiana headquarters, we’ve developed a pollinator habitat around our solar panels. We’ve also forged partnerships with community organizations for pollinator habitat restoration efforts and the planting of thousands of trees in northern Indiana. We’re proud to support wildlife and pollinator species.
