Upcoming Events

We invite you to our Wild Ones Greater Cleveland monthly chapter meeting!

Educational Topic: "A Step in the Right Direction: Guiding Your City to be Native Plant Friendly"

Wild Ones Greater Cleveland presents Sarah Bills, a Dayton Wild Ones member, who grew up in Cleveland Heights, and now uses her passion for native plants to make changes in her community. Sarah found out the all native yard of a friend of hers had been targeted by their city as a "nuisance".  The incident began a wave of concern among the native plant community that their own yards could be targeted by the vague city ordinance.  Dayton Wild Ones organized the concern into a citizen's working group to try to influence the direction the landscaping ordinance rewrite would take. And guess who came out on top? Listen in as Sarah shares her experience and victory.

Speaker: Sarah Bills was born and raised in Cleveland Heights, OH.  She moved to Beavercreek, OH in the Dayton area 20 years ago when she got married.  She has 5 kids that I homeschool.  As Sarah's children have grown up she  began to increase my her involvement in the community.  This has included working as a seasonal worker at the Board of Elections in her county, working local elections on Election Day, completing the Citizen's Police Academy and the city's Citizen Academy.  She volunteers time with the Beavercreek Wetlands Association and helps maintain a native plant garden owned by the city.  She attends city council meetings every month and is a member of the Tree Advisory Board for the city as well as Dayton Wild Ones.
