Volunteering

So many ways for You to make a difference!

Tabling Events 
Volunteering at tabling events is a great way to get to know other Wild Ones members and engage with the public. Tabling Events are where Wild Ones sets up tables to display information and promote the use of native plants. Below are events in April we will participate in. Contact Tee Bergman or email [email protected] for more information.
