About [Edit]
Wild Ones: Native Plants, Natural Landscapes promotes environmentally
sound landscaping practices to preserve biodiversity through the preservation,restoration and establishment of native plant communities.Wild Ones is a not-for-profit environmental education and advocacy organization.
Two primary goals:
- Provide information about the Wild Ones organization and native plant landscaping to members, potential members and other interested people, and
- Strengthen local chapters by helping them communicate with their
members, and by encouraging the exchange of good ideas among chapters.
Wild Ones provides information and teaches people how to use native plants in their landscapes. Wild Ones distinguishes itself from other garden organizations by encouraging gardening with native plants and moving away from the use of chemicals, watering, excessive mowing and other practices commonly used by traditional gardeners. People come to Wild Ones to learn about environmentally friendly gardening—about plants native to our area that have evolved to survive our climate without help from artificial means.
The Rock River Valley Chapter carries out the mission of Wild Ones through a variety of activities, which typically includes one of the following:
- Informative meetings that include how-to-do-it sessions, presentations by experts in prairie, woodland, and wetland native plants and related subjects and members profiling their own projects.
- Bus tours of member’s landscape as well as public landscapes.
- Show Me/Help Me Day, where members tour other members’ yards, share ideas, and offer suggestions.
- Seed exchanges where we meet in November to exchange native plant seed that members have collected.
- Plant rescues, where members dig plants in the path of development. The rescued plants go to home landscapes or are used for restoration efforts in the local area.
