California Native Plant Society has a long history of productive partnerships with other nonprofits, government agencies, and independent consultants. From the local, state, and federal agencies and consultants who use our online Rare Plant Inventory and Manual of California databases daily, to the nurseries who share their inventories on Calscape, CNPS continues to build positive and productive relationships.
