California is a biodiversity hotspot.
We save the plants that make it so.
Your gift this Plantsgiving week will have extra impact. Each donation of $25 or more will provide the gift of native plants to California’s students and school communities.
What We Do
We’re on a mission to save California’s native plants and places using both head and heart. CNPS brings together science, education, conservation, and gardening to power the native plant movement.
Why We Do It

Plants are the foundation of our ecosystems.
Saving plants
saves places.
Supports the
web of life.
Saves the California
