In the fall of 2012, the Wild Ones National Board of Directors established a committee to develop a position for the Wild Ones organization on the use of nativars. The resultant statement was adopted in 2013.
It has been eight years since this first statement was published and enough has been learned through scientific research during this timeframe that the board determined it was warranted to revisit the statement and consider a revision.
This new nativar position statement was revised and updated by the Wild Ones Executive Committee in 2021, with input from the Honorary Directors, and approval by the Board of Directors.
