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!

Behind the wife's house there is a backyard patch of hillside I would like to convert into a 'Homegrown National Park'.
If you're unfamiliar with this concept/movement, have a look at https://homegrownnationalpark.org/about-us/https://homegrownnationalpark.org/about-us/ .
We'll start with a social hour consisting of a 30-40 minute hike on comfortable trails around the nearby Stackyard Hollow and some salubrious refreshments.
Second hour we'll review the soil analysis from the WVU Extension lab, then discuss grasses, other native plants, heirloom fruits and wild foods that might be used in the Park.
Come and share your knowledge, add to it, or both.
