Chapter Events

Wild Ones own, Brian Killen  will discuss the basics of landscaping with native plants. 

"Over the past few years, I set out on my journey to convert my property into a pollinator and bird-friendly landscape by gardening with native plants, removing lawn, and creating habitat. In order to help other home gardeners in their native landscaping pursuits, I wanted to share what I have learned, including the basics of native plants, planting, design,
and maintenance."

The closing event of this year’s Less Lawn More Life Challenge, will be led by Lisa Olsen, Chapter Liaison at Wild Ones. In this webinar, you’ll learn how small, personal actions like planting native species and removing invasives, can ripple outward to inspire neighbors, change policies, and reshape communities. 

During the premiere, native plant experts from Wild Ones and collaborating organizations will be active in the live chat. They’ll be ready to answer questions, share tips, and connect viewers with resources. The live chat will remain open for 30 minutes after the webinar, giving you plenty of time to ask questions and engage. Please note: You must be logged into a YouTube account to participate in the chat. 

The Less Lawn More Life Challenge is a free, 12-week action series designed to help people transform traditional lawns into vibrant, life-supporting native plant habitat. Each week, participants complete a simple challenge like planting a native shrub, removing invasives, or observing pollinators to reimagine their outdoor space and take meaningful steps toward restoring biodiversity at home.
