Participants will build their own mini-greenhouses for winter sowing.

Regular board meeting of the Keweenaw chapter

In this special collaboration, Robin Wall Kimmerer, author, botanist, and founder of Plant Baby Plant, joins youth leader and Nurture Natives founder Esther Bonney for an intergenerational conversation about belonging, reciprocity, and native plant action. 

Together, they will explore questions such as:

How do we create opportunities for young people to have a voice and feel empowered, even when they are not homeowners or decision makers?What kinds of relationships and mentorships help people stay engaged in native plant work over decades?Why do stories, shared practices, and community invitations matter just as much as plant lists?

Robin and Esther will reflect on what invites people into this work, what keeps them here, and what elders and youth have to teach each other.

This engrossing webinar is based on Doug Tallamy’s latest book, “How Can I Help? Saving Nature with Your Yard,” which answers 499 audience questions from his hundreds of presentations.

WOK is partnering with the Keweenaw Invasive Species Management Area to host “Next Steps for Nature” at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 11, at Michigan Tech’s U.J. Noblet Forestry Building 144.

A regular meeting of the WOK Board of Directors.

Our upcoming webinar with Basil Camu explores practical, evidence based ways to heal suburban and urban landscapes by working with trees, soil, and natural systems, drawing on real world practices from Leaf & Limb and community centered models for restoring life where we live, work, and play.!  

Join Keweenaw Wild Ones for another fascinating Zoom talk by soils scientist Dr. Ken Farrish. This time, he will focus on on soil chemical properties, such as the availability of essential plant nutrients, soil pH, and soil salinity.

Join Joey Santore, creator of Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t, for a candid Wild Ones National Webinar examining how inherited garden aesthetics shape native plant landscapes. Drawing on field experience and real ecology, Joey challenges tidy design norms and explores why dense, irregular plant communities are often the most resilient and ecologically sound.
