Welcome to Our New Chapter!
Wild Ones is a national nonprofit organization that promotes native landscapes through education, advocacy, and collaborative action. We formed our local Western New York chapter to help guide and support an-ever growing number of homeowners, businesses, and organizations who understand the vital importance of native plants.
We’re an inclusive community. Diverse voices and backgrounds make us stronger. That’s why we welcome everyone to join us. Whether you’re new to the topic or experienced: We’ll have a place for you.
Why Native Plants?
Dwindling biodiversity is a threat to the foundation of life on earth. In the last century alone, we’ve lost millions of acres of diverse ecosystems. Native plants help protect and restore biodiversity, improve air and water quality, and provide wildlife with quality food and shelter.
Our vision is native plants and natural landscapes in every community.
