Events

It is estimated that Americans spend an average of 22 hours a day indoors or in vehicles - it's no wonder that we no longer recognize the deep interconnections between us and local nature! Please join Wild Ones Charlotte Piedmont for an educational presentation by published author, professor, and conservationist Dr. Sara Gagne; we'll explore the urban ecosystem of which you are a part, and also learn how reconnecting with nature where you live can improve both the planet's well being and your own. 

If you're interested, you can also explore some of Dr. Gagne's work:

Please join us for the Grand Opening of the Tuckaseegee Arboretum and Gardens!

The event will be held Saturday June 20th, 2026 from 9:00AM-12:00PM. This will be an opportunity to showcase the arboretum and gardens, publicize the city’s new pollinator garden registration process, and provide a fun celebration of pollinators for the community.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Please join us for the inaugural maintenance event of Wild Ones Charlotte Piedmont's recently adopted site! We'll be working with the Roots for Rivers program to care for a plot of over 200 trees, and we can't wait to watch it grow together. This event will include instruction from Roots for Rivers personnel on how to maintain the site, and some light refreshments will be provided (under our tents to escape the sun!) 

Advance registration is required in order to participate so Roots for Rivers may provide volunteers with the appropriate number of tools. Please check back to register when the link becomes available.

Forgot to register? You may not be able to take part in the maintenance, but we'd still love for you to come out, say hello, and see what we're up to!

Want to introduce more native plants to your landscape, but unsure where to start? Well, this presentation is for you! 

Please join Charlotte Piedmont Wild Ones and Habitat Builders at Marvin Village Hall for an educational presentation by Kristyna Culp; Habitat Builders Director, Union County Extension Master Gardener Volunteer, conservationist, and plant enthusiast! She'll walk us through some of her top recommendations for native plants that are hardy, easy to care for, readily available, and will attract pollinators to your yard. You may even get to leave with a brand new plant or some seeds! 

Advance registration is not required, but is greatly appreciated. Please check back soon for the registration link.
