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!

Volunteer at the Wild Ones booth during our Fall Plant Sale, one of the highlights of our chapter's year!
What is Public Information Tabling? It’s engaging with visitors in a friendly, accessible way; sharing our mission; offering resources on native plants & habitat restoration; and helping people learn how to support biodiversity in their own spaces.
You don’t need to be a native plant expert! Just bring a friendly attitude, be a good listener, and use our cheat sheets to help guide conversations. It’s a fun way to make new connections while supporting Wild Ones' mission.
Please bring a folding chair and dress comfortably for the weather. You're welcome to bring a favorite native plant or themed book to brighten up the display. More details will be emailed to you before the event.
Volunteer sign up link coming soon.

We are partnering with our friends at Crabtree Farms and this event REQUIRES REGISTRATION.
Over 98% of the living world on Earth is smaller than a bee. Yet humans view the planet as a world centered around themselves. Landscapes are deconstructed to suit human needs, often with little regard for the natural systems that sustain the food web. The Extraordinary Caterpillar follows the scientists and community activists with this peek into the dazzling world of nature’s tiniest superheroes.
