My Wildlife

I’m thrilled about the new addition of being able to add the wildlife we see in our gardens! I can’t wait to be able to add all the birds my garden attracts!

Totally recommend

Awesome app with a lot of valuable information pack into it!

Highly recommend!

I love this app to help me keep track of the plants in my garden. It also helps me plan for future additions and track nearby invasives to keep an eye on.

Really impressed

I have been watching this app evolve, and I’m impressed. It’s well-integrated into the Less Lawn More Life Challenge, so it feels like a wraparound support for habitat gardeners. I have submitted feedback, and the response has been great, and I have seen my suggestions incorporated into improvements. It doesn’t substitute for getting out there and gardening, and I encourage folks to find friends and groups and other real life supports as well, but this is a really fantastic support for folks who want to have more impact and who are seeking high quality information.

Incorrect information regarding natives

I love the concept of Wildr and want to help improve it. I’m in the Charleston, SC area (Southern Atlantic Coastal Plain). The app appears to recommend many excellent local natives, but it’s also marking several species as “Native to You” that are not native to this ecoregion. Examples include Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (kinnikinnick), Vaccinium vitis-idaea (lingonberry), Vaccinium oxycoccos (small cranberry), Alnus incana (gray alder), Rubus parviflorus (western thimbleberry), Rhododendron catawbiense (Catawba rosebay), and Amelanchier alnifolia (Saskatoon serviceberry). Could you review how the regional native filter is determining “Native to You” for the Southern Atlantic Coastal Plain?
