Native plants are vital to the future of pollinators across the United States.

Wild Green Future provided a microgrant to support the purchase of native plants for a public garden in Oklahoma!

Mosaic Gardens is a Tulsa-based nonprofit which works to provide environmental education, equity, and experiences through collaborative native plantings, reciprocal compost exchanges and environmental restoration services to diverse and underserved communities and habitats. Wild Green Future provided funding support for their purchase of native plants from the Oklahoma Native Plant Network for their garden in Chandler Park.

From Mosaic Gardens founder Patrick:

“Every day the garden grows and we are able to show the beauty and functionality of native plants and are thrilled to have activated our native plant vendors and community throughout this initiative.”

Great job Mosaic Gardens!

We are grateful for the opportunity to provide support for this wonderful project.

Funding for 2026 microgrants was generously provided by a donation from Angry Birds!

The Tennessee Central Heritage Rail Trail is a multi-use paved greenway that connects the communities of Putnam County, Tennessee.

The Tennessee Central Trail is working to transform a segment of the trailside into vibrant pollinator habitat featuring native Tennessee plant species like milkweed, coneflower, black-eyed susan, and bee balm.

In conjunction with other sponsors, Wild Green Future provided a microgrant to support the creation of the trail’s pollinator garden.

Volunteers from the Friends of the Tennessee Central Trail, Algood School Garden Club, 2 local Girl Scout Troops and Keep Putnam County Beautiful Clean Commission planted the garden, and additional funds from other donors also enabled the planting of 15 native trees along with some creative recycled tire art installations.

Great job Tennessee Central Heritage Rail Trail!

Backyard Microgrants Update (12/?)

Bats are vital to healthy ecosystems, consuming large quantities of insects—including moths, beetles, and mosquitoes. Oklahoma is home to at least 23 bat species, seven of which commonly use bat houses. However, habitat loss and limited roosting sites can restrict their populations.

Wild Green Future gave a microgrant to The Red Dirt Sisters Women on the Wing Chapter to support the purchase of materials for 15 bat houses during their hands-on community workshop in central Oklahoma. These structures will be installed in suitable urban and rural locations to provide critical roosting habitat for native bat species.

Bats are vital to healthy ecosystems, consuming large quantities of insects—including moths, beetles, and mosquitoes—through echolocation. By installing bat houses, this project supports natural pest control while promoting biodiversity. Because successful occupancy depends on proper design and placement, the workshop emphasized best practices to maximize long-term success.

The workshop featured local bat experts and horticulturists who taught participants about Oklahoma’s bat species, their ecological role, and how native plants support the insects bats rely on for food.

From Red Dirt Sisters Women on the Wing Chapter president Ashley:

“We had a stellar event and learned all about bat habitat, conservation, and bats as a keynote pollinator for agave. We had a great turnout and made over 16 bat boxes.”

We’re thankful for the opportunity to provide support for this wonderful project!

Backyard Microgrants Update (11/?)

Brad from Minneapolis was surprised to see how fast plants flew from the Little Free Plant Stand he added to the corner of his property. Originally meant as a way to occasionally share extra plants from his garden, Brad found that plants left there were quickly claimed by eager gardeners. Soon, neighbors even began adding their own plants and cuttings, including herbs and native plants from the area!

Inspired by the community's response, Brad and his neighbors got together to make more plant stands. Wild Green Future gave him a microgrant to help support their construction, and the busy gardeners quickly added three more stands!

Wild Green Future gave a microgrant to a high school in Virginia to support the creation of a pollinator garden.

From Biology Teacher Hannah:

"[Students] added plantings, refreshed the mulch surrounding the plot, and designed and printed signs to educate others about the importance of local plants and pollinators. The students loved the project and are very thankful for your support!"
