Wild One’s Annual Meeting/Holiday Party
Our annual meeting will be held on December 13, 2025 at 1:15 p.m. at the Wehr Nature Center. The meeting will include the election of the chapter board of directors (please review the slate of nominees), social time, seed sharing, door prizes and soup pot-luck. Bring your favorite soup or dessert.
Not sure what to do with the seeds you take home from our seed exchange table? Jennifer will be doing a short presentation on “milk jug” planting. It’s super easy and successful way to treat and germinate your native plant seeds.
If you plan to attend the annual meeting and social and plan to bring something to share, please text or email Jo Ann Fritz. Please note the food you are bringing (soup, chili or dessert).
Thank you!

About us
The Milwaukee Southwest/Wehr chapter is an active & vibrant chapter serving southern Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. We offer new member support, mentoring, an extensive lending library, excellent programs and field trips, seed exchanges, and native plant sales. We pride ourselves on good communication and quality programming in a supportive, friendly setting. Visit us at an upcoming meeting or click on “Join” to join our chapter.
With it’s “roots” in the “Natural Landscaping Club” founded at the Wehr Nature Center in the early 1980s, our group was the second official chapter of the fledgling Wild Ones organization.
Our long history of association with the Wehr Nature Center, part of the Milwaukee County Parks system, has given us a solid foundation on which to grow our membership and influence in southeast Wisconsin.
We meet on the second Saturday of the month at the Wehr Nature Center, 9701 W. College Ave Franklin, WI 53132 (in Whitnall Park in southwest Milwaukee County).
Programs from October through April offer presentations on native plant landscape design; woodland, prairie, wetland and savanna plant communities; native plant support of wildlife and native plant propagation and much more. These meeting are open to the public at no charge. (The Wehr Nature Center charges a small parking fee).
From May through September we tour yards with native plant landscapes and local natural areas. Generally, these tours are for members-only, but memberships are always available on the day of the tour.
