Join WOGC for a lake hike to admire the beauty of our region in fall!

Here are Wild Ones Greater Cleveland, we're more than aware of the amazing resources we have in Cleveland. Our region gets all four seasons and we are so fortunate to live in our temperate climate that allows us to have it all when it comes to our seasonal changes. As cooler temperature have come on, we're appreciating the impressive fall color display we get to experience each fall. What's more, we are right on Lake Erie! If you love native plants, our great lake, ecological restoration, and hiking with other native plant lovers, you'll absolutely love this hike!

We hope to see there for an amazing hike and sharing of fun facts of the park being led by WOGC's very own Cuyahoga County Regional Coordinator, Diab Dar-Issa.

Questions or concerns? Call or text Diab at (216) 800-3541

Planting native species is an important step toward creating habitat, but how can you tell what’s working, what’s missing, and where to focus your efforts next?

Join Wild Ones and Wildr Places for The Habitat Check-up, a free webinar exploring a practical, science-informed approach to evaluating your home landscape. Presenter Zoe Evans will introduce five key areas to consider when assessing habitat and share how thoughtful observations can help guide your next steps.

Whether you’re just getting started with native plants or have been gardening for years, this webinar will help you look at your landscape through a new lens.

Join fellow native plant lovers for a native seed cleaning and packing social.

We'll spend a few hours processing and packaging locally collected native seed, helping make these important plants more accessible to our community while preparing for future restoration and gardening efforts.

This is a great opportunity to connect with other members, learn a bit about native seed stewardship, and lend a hand to a meaningful project.

Please register through the event link for the address and so we can plan accordingly for this event. We hope to see you there!

No yard required. Learn how native plants can turn patios, balconies, containers, and other small spaces into meaningful habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. This practical panel will cover plant selection, container design, seasonal care, and realistic ways to support biodiversity in limited spaces.
