Greater DuPage Chapter Events

Anyone that would like to know what Wild Ones is about is invited to attend a ZOOM meeting that will explain it all. Whether you are considering joining, are a recent member, or you just heard of Wild Ones – this meeting is for you.

We will explain why Native Plants are so important, the role of the national Wild Ones organization, a little history, and a bit about Greater DuPage Wild Ones and our activities.  

You will also learn what you can do to help save our planet.  Wow! And you thought the meeting sounded tame!

A link to the Zoom meeting will be sent out in a newsletter the week of the event. If you have any questions on attending, please contact [email protected].

At least two dozen species of milkweed are found locally, and each one can host Monarchs and dozen of other species of insects. In Life on a Milkweed, John Cebula invites you to join him as he investigates the different species. And the native milkweed is a patriot! Find out the important roles it played during World War II.

This event will be hosted on Zoom. A link to the Zoom meeting will be sent out in our newsletter the week of the event. If you have any questions on attending, please contact [email protected].
