“Have you heard about Wild Ones?”
This is a common opening question used by Wild One members who volunteer their time at our informational table at area events. We are again getting into our “busy season” with many upcoming events. We are asking you, our members, to consider spreading the word through volunteering at our table.
Requirements needed: enthusiasm about native plants and the benefits they bring to our neighborhoods, willingness to engage in conversation with those drawn to our table, and a smile showing what a great volunteer you are! All other resources, backup and support provided.
Sign-up online by going to the Dig In! tab and choosing an event and time slot.
