Prospective Landscaping Plans for the Wild Ones EcoCenter

Wild Ones EcoCenter

Wild Ones Natural Landscapers Ltd. has recently purchased a house on a 3.5-acre parcel of land on 2285 Butte des Morts Beach Road in the Town of Menasha, Wisconsin, that will serve as its educational center and national headquarters. The property, located adjacent to Stroebe Marsh on the west shore of Little Lake Buttes de Morts, is comprised largely of wet-mesic woodland. The building occupies the center of an upland area approximately 3/4 of an acre in size that is currently managed as a conventional residential landscape with extensive mown lawn and non-native plantings. Long-range plans include the purchase of an adjacent 12-1/2 acres (south of the building) to allow for expanded visitor parking and the creation of a prairie and oak savanna. With that in mind we asked Wild Ones members for landscaping designs for our new National Headquarters, and several responded with great ideas.
