If you do not find a chapter near you, or if you choose not to be part of a Wild Ones chapter, you may choose to be a Partner At Large (PAL). A PAL is not assigned to a chapter but joins a group of members who work solo in their own communities or simply enjoy the benefits of a Wild Ones membership. Either way – as a chapter member or as a PAL, you receive all the benefits of membership. Join Now!

Stefan Martin, Conservation Manager of CT Audubon, will lead us on a tour of this incredible restoration effort of 36 acres of invasives being transformed into a wildlife oasis. Larry Weaner is consulting on management practice of such a large parcel restoration.
Until roughly 2016, the section was a thicket of weeds and invasive shrubs and vines, including barberry, porcelain berry, bittersweet, and multiflora rose. They have installed over 3,000 native trees, shrubs and plants. Four acres are converting to meadows.

This should be an informative walk and talk on how to use the plants in our yards to boost our health and to feed us as humans have done for millenia.
Amelia South, owner, NO-BS Herbalist, will lead us on a Foraging Walk looking for both edible and medicinal plants. She has over 15 years of experience identifying and using the plants on our property for overall health.
Depending on what she finds, we will come into the kitchen and she will show us how to make something to eat and taste, and/or make medicine following the walk. Nibbles and beverages to be served.
