About

Wild Ones Midcoast Maine Chapter is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to advancing native plant conservation and ecological restoration across Knox, Waldo, Lincoln, and Sagadahoc Counties in Maine. Based in Camden, the chapter works to make native plants more accessible to the community while supporting local nurseries and promoting landscape practices that enhance biodiversity and support pollinators and native insects. Through educational programs, community events, and garden tours, Wild Ones Midcoast Maine demonstrates the ecological and aesthetic benefits of transitioning from cultivated plants to native species. The organization emphasizes hands-on learning opportunities and provides resources to help residents, landowners, and green builders integrate native plants into their landscapes, contributing to habitat restoration and climate resilience at both individual and community scales.
