We are a diverse membership interested in landscaping using native species in developing plant communities. The Wild Ones Rock River Valley Chapter carries out the mission of Wild Ones through a variety of activities. Bus tours of member's landscape as well as public landscapes. Build It Day, where we build nature related projects and sell them at bargain prices. Projects have included bluebird houses, suet feeders, and seed cleaning screens.
Plant rescues, where members dig plants in the path of development.
The rescued plants go to home landscapes or are used for restoration efforts in the local area. The Rock River Valley Chapter publishes a monthly newsletter for its members which contains informative and timely articles about upcoming events, past events, related events, and other useful information. In August, the membership was already up to 27. Currently the membership is about 110. In 1996, the Chapter became steward of a three acre gravel hill prairie remnant on Perryville Road, dubbed Perryville Prairie, in Rockford.
