Minnesota Native Plant Society

The Minnesota Native Plant Society is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to conserving and celebrating Minnesota's native plants and plant communities. Through education and public awareness initiatives, the organization brings together plant enthusiasts, scientists, and conservation advocates to share knowledge and build meaningful connections around native flora. Members participate in monthly programs, field trips, and an annual symposium, gaining hands-on experience with rare species recovery, native orchid restoration, and plant identification. By joining the Minnesota Native Plant Society, individuals contribute to the preservation of Minnesota's natural plant heritage while developing a deeper understanding of the ecological importance of native species in their region.
