Chapter Events

The closing event of this year’s Less Lawn More Life Challenge, will be led by Lisa Olsen, Chapter Liaison at Wild Ones. In this webinar, you’ll learn how small, personal actions like planting native species and removing invasives, can ripple outward to inspire neighbors, change policies, and reshape communities. 

During the premiere, native plant experts from Wild Ones and collaborating organizations will be active in the live chat. They’ll be ready to answer questions, share tips, and connect viewers with resources. The live chat will remain open for 30 minutes after the webinar, giving you plenty of time to ask questions and engage. Please note: You must be logged into a YouTube account to participate in the chat. 

The Less Lawn More Life Challenge is a free, 12-week action series designed to help people transform traditional lawns into vibrant, life-supporting native plant habitat. Each week, participants complete a simple challenge like planting a native shrub, removing invasives, or observing pollinators to reimagine their outdoor space and take meaningful steps toward restoring biodiversity at home. 

It’s not too late to get involved. Catch up on the weekly videos and start your rewilding journey today at https://www.lesslawnmorelife.com/ 

Chapter yard tour with Sarah Foltz Jordan, 3305 Troy Brett Trail (north of Duluth).  

"For this yard tour, we will visit a variety of native wildflower plantings at different stages (5 years to a few weeks old) and talk through: methods of site preparation, invasive weed control, plant selection for different soil types, pollinator forage and nesting habitat, growing natives from seed in a greenhouse and outdoors, replacing nonnative ornamentals with natives, and incorporating native fruit-bearing shrubs into vegetable gardens and other landscaping. 

We'll wrap up with an optional short hike to visit two different native plant communities in the wild (cedar bog, upland hardwood forest)."

Heads up that we are out of town- about 15 minutes north of the roundabout on Glenwood/Snively. Carpool if possible. There's a long driveway- We can fit about 6 cars up by our house and overflow can park on the road. For road parking: turn around in our driveway as if you are heading back towards Jean Duluth and park on the right side of road.
