About

Wild Ones Loess Hills Chapter is a dedicated native plant organization serving Northwest Iowa, Southeast South Dakota, and Northeast Nebraska. The chapter promotes native landscapes of all sizes through education, community engagement, and direct conservation action. By hosting native plant sales, seed harvesting events, and habitat restoration projects, Wild Ones Loess Hills Chapter empowers residents to transform their properties into thriving native ecosystems that support pollinators and local wildlife. The organization distributes grant funding to support native plantings throughout the region and maintains a Seed Share Library for community access to native seeds. Members and volunteers can participate in hands-on projects like street cleanups, monarch butterfly tagging, and native seed collection while learning from expert-led workshops on topics ranging from pollinator-friendly gardening to difficult seed germination techniques.
