Wild Ones Central WI – Transplanting Work Days
A huge thank you to everyone who pitched in over the past few weekends to help with transplanting!
Thanks to our amazing volunteers’ efficiency and dedication, we’ve completed the work ahead of schedule — no additional transplanting days are needed.
In total, 2,839 seedlings were successfully transplanted into 86 flats, representing 38 native plant species that have been grown, planted, and cared for since January. That’s an incredible achievement and a whole lot of plants!
We’re so grateful for your time, energy, and commitment. None of this would be possible without you! Thank you again!
In Search of Volunteers
We are seeking volunteers to help at the following events:
- Waterers for our native plants at the Farmshed Greenhouse (downtown Stevens Point)
- Link to the sign up sheet can be found in the April Newsletter
- We transplanted our native plants from flats into individual pots & we need volunteers to stay on top of watering. Watering will be twice a day May through June. We will let you know when watering is no longer needed.
- 5th Anniversary Sustainability Event hosted by PROCESS
- PROCESS is hosting a Sustainable Community block party in honor of their 5 year anniversary & would love for Wild Ones Central Wisconsin to partake via a booth setup, demo, activity, or presentation (or any combination of these things!)
- Saturday, June 21st during the Stevens Point Farmer’s Market on the Square from 7am-12pm
- Feel free to volunteer for the entire event, or join just for part of the time
If you are interested in helping with any of these events, please email us at wildonescw@gmail.com! Sing up sheets will be available at our member meetings as well.
