Looking forward to learning more about vernal pools from this fabulous expert and speaker!

We have had the privilege of working on wetlands ecology and conservation in 22 counties across Virginia, and even a project in Maryland. Did you know that while we specialize in wetlands ecology and conservation we also do farm pond retrofits & rewilding, wildlife habitat development, stormwater management, stream enhancements & riparian restoration, planting native plants & trees, invasive plant control, recreational trails and more!

We are filling our autumn schedule with projects ranging from building small backyard & larger wildllife water features, repairing & restoring ponds, riparian buffer along a creek, and developing a property plan for restorative aquatic habitat. Let us know if we can design and build water features and wildlife habitat for you!

✍️ 🌱New blog post🌿 🎉 Did you know the University of Maryland Extension Maryland Native Plants Program, along with University of Maryland Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture, is co-hosting this year’s Maryland Native Plant Society’s (MNPS) annual conference? In this fifth post in our ongoing series of nonprofit organizations, we introduce you to the Maryland Native Plant Society, whose mission, vision, and programs align with the Wild Ones mission to promote native landscapes through education, advocacy and collaborative action, and our vision of native plants and natural landscapes thriving in every community.

The Maryland Native Plant Society's fall conference features presentations, workshops, and field trips so you can learn more about our native plants and their habitats. Discover the unique landscapes of Maryland’s Piedmont and Western Coastal Plain from globally rare ecosystems such as magnolia bogs to the resilient and prevalent oak-hickory forests.

There are still spaces available, but hurry registration ends September 3. The plant sale is open to the public!
