Defending Our Desert Plan | The Work Continues
The Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) protects over 6 million acres of desert habitat, but it is now under threat by the Trump Administration.
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
