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!

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.
