Events

The Wings & Wild Things Festival showcases the wild and wonderful flora and fauna of our region, as well as outdoor recreation activities in our area. 

The event will feature hands-on learning activities, guided exploration, and animal meet & greets. Meet a live owl, study Iowa’s threatened box turtles, get your hands dirty making milkweed seed balls, pick up native plants for your yard, practice fire-building techniques, learn about local wildlife, and more. Visitors can also enjoy guided bird walks, mushroom forays, and fishing activities, and grab food from local food trucks.

Wild Ones Cedar Rapids Iowa City Chapter will have a table at this event for community outreach. Stop by and say hello, get a temporary tattoo, and chat with us about gardening with native plants

Volunteers needed!
If you’re a Wild Ones member and would like to help staff the outreach table, we’d love to have you join us! Sign up to volunteer.
