Inscription. In honor of Indiana's bicentennial, Ricker's Convenience Stores provided a grant as part of its Ricker's Replenish America Initiative to restore and enhance the canopy tree population on the Indiana Statehouse grounds. Under the supervision of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Urban Forestry Office, 45 successor trees native to Indiana were planted to ensure the statehouse continues to have an ecologically meaningful, aesthetically pleasing tree canopy for future generations to enjoy.
