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!

to (Eastern Time)
Online/Virtual

Public Welcome Recording Available Registration Required Free Event Chapter Meeting Program/Speaker Presentation

We invite you to our Wild Ones Greater Cleveland monthly chapter meeting!

Educational Topic: Protecting the Jewels of the Night: How You Can Support Fireflies

The presentation will cover the firefly life cycle, physiology, and diversity, as well as firefly habitat needs and the environmental threats contributing to declines in abundance.  We will also discuss what people can do to support healthy populations of our iconic “jewels of the night!”

Speaker: Cat Miller

Cat is retired and has moved on to a new “career” as an aspiring amateur naturalist and a Master Gardener with a passion for native flora and fauna.  She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and earned undergraduate degrees from Case Western Reserve University in German and History and from Cleveland State University in Vocal Performance.  She moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2001 where she spent almost two decades following her heart as a singer-songwriter by night and earning her living as an Office Manager by day.  She currently resides in a hundred-year-old house in Cleveland Heights with her husband, two rescue dogs, a cat, and four chickens, and is in the process of converting as much of the property as possible into pollinator and wildlife habitat.  When she is not gardening, she enjoys spending time hiking, biking, birding, and learning about all things Nature!

Discussion Topic: TBD

NEW: Starting in July, we'll ask you to register for the chapter meeting Zoom series using the registration link below in order to receive a link to join the meeting.  Register once and you'll be registered for all the meetings for the rest of the year.  This will help us keep our Zoom meetings secure, but they are still free and open to the public.  Please join us!

Public Welcome Registration Required Free Event Program/Speaker Presentation Public Restroom Free Public Parking

Wild Ones Greater Cleveland will be the featured speaker at the Building Healthy Communities Summit Medina Chapter for their monthly Plant Based Potluck and Presentation.

The presentation will cover:

Native plants play a critical role in supporting pollinators, birds, and other wildlife, while helping to restore healthy soil, improve water quality, and strengthen local ecosystems. We'll explore why these plants matter and how small choices in our own yards and communities can lead to meaningful change.

You’ll learn about Wild Ones Greater Cleveland, a local chapter of the national nonprofit Wild Ones: Native Plants, Natural Landscapes. This chapter is focused on raising awareness, providing education, and supporting habitat restoration through community programs, public events, and native garden projects across Northeast Ohio.

For the Potluck:

Bring a low-fat, minimal-oil plant based dish to share as we gather for connection and conversation! PLEASE REGISTER ( event is free)

We aim to be zero waste so your help in making this happen is greatly appreciated. We recommend bringing your own water bottle, plates and flatware.
