Wild Ones Chapter Members have been busy collecting seeds from our certified habitats.
This is the fifth year that we have met to offer seeds and to accept donations to fill our supply for our various projects throughout the year.
You don’t need to bring seeds to attend. But if you do, please be sure to label them as accurately as you can. (Ask us how)
If you are not a chapter member, we ask that you be prepared to help us cover the cost associated with the meeting by paying $5.00 at the door.
If you’d like to become a member or contribute a donation to help us offer more free programs in the future visit greaterbatonrouge.WildOnes.org - join or donate.
