Wild Ones Western Pennsylvania Area Chapter has been a local chapter of Wild Ones Natural Landscapers, Ltd., a not-for-profit environmental education and advocacy organization, since 2021. Our ALL VOLUNTEER local chapter gets hands on in our community to connect native plants to people.
Why Native Plants?
Native plants are those that evolved naturally in North America. More specifically, native plants in a particular area are those that were growing naturally in the area before humans introduced plants from distant places. In eastern and central North America, native plants typically grew in communities with species adapted to similar soil, moisture, and weather conditions.
