PAST EVENTS:

GO WILD! with Native Plants
Saturday, March 11th, 2023
Thanks to all who attended our second annual Go Wild! with Native Plants seminar! It was a great event again this year.

Justin Kroening from the Stone Silo Prairie Gardens in DePere spoke on "Urban Landscaping and Backyard Habitats". Justin is an expert in the field, and Stone Silo Prairie Gardens specializes in wildflowers and grasses native to the Upper Midwest. Justin works professionally to promote, educate, and install native landscapes.

Also presenting was Jim Schultz and his presentation was on
"A 30 acre prairie from scratch...what was I thinking?"
Jim is a prairie enthusiast, sheep farmer, wildlife photographer,
and retired biology teacher.

Attendees could also join-in on several table discussions with local native plant experts/enthusiasts...topics included: shore-land restoration, rain gardens, landscaping with natives, and creating the Wittenberg school's outdoor classroom.

Many great door prizes too.

Shawano County Youth Conservation Field Day 2022
Our Wolf River Chapter participated in the Shawano County Youth Conservation Day
this year. Students from the Wittenberg, Birnamwood, and Bowler schools learned about pollinators and more thanks to our WWRO volunteers.

GO WILD! with native plants Workshop - SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 2022

Thank you to all who came out that morning, despite the weather, for our “Go Wild! with Native Plants” workshop.

And a special thanks to our speakers…Bob Dumke (one of our own chapter members), Justin Kroening from Stone Silos Prairie Gardens, and Neil Diboll from Prairie Nursery.

I think we all learned a lot and are inspired to get out in the garden! Follow us on Facebook for upcoming events, we’d love to have you as an active member of our chapter.

We are already planning for another workshop this fall, and again in the spring of 2023.

Thanks again all!
