Wild Ones Mid-Missouri Chapter

Wild Ones Mid-Missouri Chapter is a dedicated native plant organization based in Columbia, Missouri, committed to promoting native plants for home and community landscapes. The chapter actively manages multiple native plant demonstration areas throughout the region, including prairie plantings, rain gardens, and woodland areas at sites like Capen Park, Forum Nature Area, and Epple Field. Through strategic partnerships with Columbia Parks and Recreation, Missouri Master Naturalists, and local schools, Wild Ones Mid-Missouri works to restore and maintain native habitats while educating the community about the ecological importance of native plants. The organization offers hands-on volunteer opportunities at regular work days, native garden tours, and educational programs that engage both adults and preschool students in habitat stewardship, invasive species management, and pollinator conservation.
