Wild Ones: Native Plants, Natural Landscapes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit environmental education and advocacy
organization.
- Wild Ones promotes environmentally sound landscaping practices to preserve biodiversity through
preservation, restoration and establishment of native plant communities.
Mission Statement - River City - Grand Rapids Area Chapter
- The River City – Grand Rapids Area Chapter of the national Wild Ones (www.wildones.org)
organization was established in 2007. Our purpose is to promote the establishment of communities of
native plants around homes, schools and businesses, using ecological practices. We are dedicated to the
conservation of biodiversity through preservation and restoration of our natural areas. In addition, we
support and organize local community efforts to develop natural areas of learning through the national
Seeds for Education Grant Program and through our chapter’s available grant monies.
- We are composed of a steadily growing number of citizens that possess varying levels of plant and
gardening knowledge – from beginner to advanced. We share a common passion and concern for the
environment and strive to learn from each other and from the diversity of informative programs offered
each month. Visitors are always welcome to attend the programs and field trips; you do not need to be a
member to join us as we explore our natural environment. When we learn we take interest, when we
take interest we are motivated to take action.
- We invite you to share our passion for native plants and the desire to preserve the natural world around
us.
- Joining Wild Ones gives you access to information resources as well as the camaraderie of other native
plant enthusiasts. A single membership covers both the River City Wild Ones (RCWO - our local
chapter) and the national organization.
In addition to our local chapter's monthly newsletter, members receive the Wild Ones New Member
Handbook and the Wild Ones Journal, a bimonthly publication of the national headquarters.
Other membership benefits include participation in any and all Wild Ones chapter activities, either
locally or across the United States. Examples of such events are seed gatherings, seed exchanges, plant
rescues, plant sales, speaker presentations, garden tours, conferences, etc. (Membership Form)
