Chapter Goal

In addition to supporting the National Wild Ones Mission, the chapter provides opportunities to share information about native Central Illinois prairie and woodland plants. We sponsor monthly programs that cover the multiple aspects of growing native plants such as identifying species, controlled burning, landscaping design, and plant selection.

All programming and events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. The chapter also provides many volunteer opportunities where you can learn about native plants in their natural habitat in a hands-on experience.
