Wild Ones Quad Cities Chapter

Welcome to Quad Cities Wild Ones!

We are a group of native plant enthusiasts who encourage everyone to incorporate native plants in their landscapes. Our group is a local chapter of the national non-profit group Wild Ones. We serve the Quad Cities and surrounding areas, including the Illinois counties of Rock Island, Henry, Mercer and Knox, and Iowa counties of Scott, Clinton, Jones, Muscatine and Cedar.

Our goal is to put as many native plants in the ground as possible, teach as many people as possible the importance of native plants, and to be good stewards to the land we call home.
