Connecting people and native plants for a healthy planet
Wild Ones promotes native landscapes through education, advocacy, and collaborative action.
Wild Ones Wayne County (WOWC) is a space where people can gather to support each other in learning about landscaping with native plants. Our goal is to share with the community about why it’s important to reintroduce native plants and how to go about doing it. We are looking to drive change through socializing, teaching and connecting people with the resources they need to make Wayne County landscapes native. We are excited to offer local residents the opportunity to expand their impact in the natural landscaping movement!
