Upcoming Events

Join Wild Ones Western Pennsylvania for an inspiring and solution-focused panel discussion on how individuals, neighborhoods, and municipalities can create friendlier conditions for natural landscaping and native plant stewardship.

Our expert panel will explore three key areas where real change is possible:

Land Access
How do we make more space—public and private—for native plants, habitat projects, and community-driven restoration?

Property Management Codes
What outdated or restrictive rules get in the way of natural landscapes, and how can residents work with local officials to update codes that support ecological practices?

Educating & Enabling Citizens (Including Youth)
How do we empower people of all ages to understand, appreciate, and actively engage in native planting and habitat care?

Whether you’re a homeowner, gardener, community volunteer, educator, or simply passionate about native plants, this session will offer practical ideas, local examples, and opportunities to get involved.

Come learn how everyday actions—combined with thoughtful policy change—can help our region create healthier, more resilient landscapes for people and wildlife.

All are welcome!
This program is perfect for anyone interested in advocacy, community engagement, or expanding the impact of native planting in Western Pennsylvania.
