Help & Support

Wildr is a native plant habitat app that gives you a personalized plan for reducing lawn and creating wildlife-supporting habitat — right where you live. Your recommendations are based on your specific ecoregion and the science of Doug Tallamy’s Keystone plant research, along with USDA data.

When you set up your Place, Wildr uses your address to identify your ecoregion (Level III). That determines which native plants are most ecologically valuable for your specific location — down to which butterflies and pollinators you can support.

You don’t have to, but your location is the foundation of everything Wildr does. Without it, Wildr can’t generate a plan tailored to your ecoregion. Your address is only used to identify your ecoregion and site conditions; it’s never shared or sold.

Choose whatever feels honest! Whether you’re just curious about native plants or you’ve been converting lawn for years, your experience level helps Wildr calibrate the language and complexity of your recommendations. You can update it anytime in Settings.

My Plan is your personalized native plant and habitat roadmap — a wishlist of plants and habitat features you want to add to your yard. It surfaces recommendations that are highest-impact, prioritized by ecological value, not just aesthetics. Once you’ve planted something, you can move it to a Plant List from your Plan.

Your plan is filtered by your ecoregion, your site conditions (sun, soil, moisture), and your goals. Wildr surfaces the native plants most likely to support caterpillars, pollinators, and birds in your specific location. You can also search for plants that aren’t immediately surfaced and add them to your plan.

Tap the thumbs down icon on any plant card. You’ll be asked a quick reason (highly aggressive, wrong ecoregion, not available near me, etc.) — this helps improve your plan over time. While Wildr’s recommendations have been reviewed and vetted by hundreds of restoration and botany experts across the country, every yard is different, and your feedback genuinely helps us get better.

Yes. Use the search bar to find any native plant by name, even if it isn’t currently surfaced in your plan. This is handy if you have a plant in mind and want to learn more or add it to a list.

Yes. Go to Settings → My Place to update your site conditions (sun exposure, soil type, moisture) and Settings → Profile to update your goals.

My Place is your yard or property in the app. It’s where you track the plants, habitat features, wildlife observations, and lists tied to your specific location.

An ecoregion is a geographic area defined by its ecology — climate, soil, vegetation, and the wildlife that evolved there. Wildr uses EPA Level III ecoregions because a yard in one zip code can support entirely different species than a yard just 20 miles away. Your ecoregion determines your native plant list.

Yes — go to Settings → My Place Settings → Location. Keep in mind that changing your address will update your ecoregion, which may change your plant recommendations.

Lists let you organize plants and habitat features you want to track or plan for. You might create a list for “Front Yard Project” or “Plants I Already Have.” Lists live inside your Place.

Habitat features are elements beyond individual plants that make your yard more wildlife-friendly — things like brush piles, water sources, leaf litter areas, nesting spots, and more. Adding them to your Place helps track your overall habitat progress.

From any plant or feature card, tap “Add to List” and choose an existing list or create a new one.

Wildr uses your email address to send you a one-time sign-in code — no password needed. Just enter your email, get the code, and you’re in.

Go to Settings → Profile. Tap your avatar to choose from illustrated avatars or upload a photo. Your display name can be edited inline.

Yes — Wildr supports public profiles so you can share your collections and follow others in the community. You can set this up or opt out under Settings → Account.

Wildr collects your location (address/ecoregion), app usage data, and any content you add to your Place. We do not sell your data or run ads. See our full Privacy Policy for details.

Yes. Your address is used only to determine your ecoregion and generate your plan. It is not shared with third parties or used for advertising.

Both are accessible during account creation and under Settings → Account.

Tap “Report an Issue” in Settings. You’ll be asked to describe what happened, what screen you were on, and your device type. This goes directly to our team.
