Chapters in Virginia

Please join Wild Ones Greater Richmond Virginia Chapter as Botanist, Certified Master Naturalist, and longtime Virginia Native Plant Society member Catharine Tucker brings us to a deeper understanding of three of the biggest threats facing Virginia’s native plants today: relentless competition from invasive species, ongoing habitat destruction and fragmentation, and focusing particularly on the increasing stresses related to climate change.

Better awareness of these threats can empower each of us to engage with these challenges and pursue better stewardship not only of our own land but of the precious resources we will leave behind for generations to come. 

This free event is online only (via Zoom). It is open to the public but requires registration to receive a link to the program. Attendees will be muted during the presentation, and we ask that attendees post your questions in the chat, which will be moderated. If you register but are unable to attend live, the program will be recorded and a link to access the recording at any time during the two weeks following the event will be made available to registered attendees. 

Learn how to engage with your state representative and senator to support bills that protect native plants.

This is a purely social gathering for Chapter members to celebrate their native plant gardening efforts for the year. Members are encouraged to share stories and photos of their favorite events (and plants) across the year.
