Start In Your Yard

This is a project of the Kane County Chapter of Wild Ones, a non-governmental, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to promote environmentally sound landscaping practices and preserve biodiversity, in partnership with Gail Borden Public Library of Elgin and the Elgin Sustainability Commission.

Preserving our natural heritage, one yard at a time

Start in Your Yard is a movement of local conservationists who believe we have become so disconnected from our natural world and our place in it that most people feel nature is something apart from us, something that is somewhere else, not where we are. Starting in our yards, we can begin to learn what we need to know.

Native plants provide exactly the right food that all of our local birds, insects and wildlife need to survive.
