Why Become a
WYLD Gardener?
What We Stand For
WYLD stands for Wyoming Landscape Diversification.
Landscape diversification is the practice of increasing the variety of plants, habitats, and structural features within a landscape to promote ecological health and resilience.
A diverse landscape supports healthy ecosystems by creating greater complexity and habitat variety. This benefits a wider range of wildlife, improves soil and water health, and strengthens the landscape's ability to recover from disturbances like drought, pests, and climate change.
The WYLD Gardening Initiative advocates gardening practices that promote landscape diversification and support native biodiversity. Supporting native biodiversity in your garden isn't just good practice, it's essential for conserving our natural heritage and ensuring the long-term health of our landscapes.
