Events

Get Connected. Stay Involved.

Creating opportunities for Greater Lafayette to engage with the enhancement of the Wabash River is critical. Here at WREC, we provide a variety of events for the public, from water sampling and landscape tours to our very own festival. 

Planning for Natives: What to buy and plant this spring

Saturday February 28, 2026

10am-noon

downtown Lafayette

With native plant sales coming up this spring, why not sit down and take time to plan our your purchase?  In this workshop, learn about site preparation, green mulch, plant sociability, keystone species, wildlife benefits, and how to keep your neighbors happy.

Bring some basic info about the area you’ll be planting (size, shape, soil moisture, sunlight, your feelings) and we’ll help you go from there.

This will be an indoor, sitting down program, but we’ll be dreaming about getting our hands dirty.
