Wild Ones Capital Region NY Chapter

Wild Ones Capital Region NY Chapter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting native plant conservation and natural landscaping throughout the Albany area and surrounding counties. Serving Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Schoharie Counties, the chapter works to advance native plants and natural landscapes in every community through education, advocacy, and collaborative action. The organization welcomes gardeners of all levels, from those seeking ecoregion-specific native species to those simply adding natives to existing gardens or rewilding entire properties. Wild Ones Capital Region NY Chapter offers diverse opportunities for community engagement, including native plant identification help, guided hikes, garden tours, online webinars, and hands-on work at their Unity Demonstration Garden. Members and volunteers can participate in educational events like Cozy Chats, plant sales, seed swaps, and community meetings while building connections with fellow native plant enthusiasts. Whether through membership, volunteering, or simply attending events, the chapter empowers the Capital Region community to transform landscapes into thriving native habitats.
