Welcome to the
Colorado Native Plant Society
web site.

 

The Colorado Native Plant Society is open to everyone  -- professionals and amateurs, experienced botanists and beginners  --  all   who  are interested  in  the  flora  of   Colorado. We hope you will join us.

 

The purpose of the Colorado Native Plant Society is to encourage the appreciation and conservation of Colorado native plants and their habitats.  The Society identifies and studies Colorado’s native flora, with an emphasis on rare plants and the ecosystems that support them. To achieve its goals, the Society works with the United States government, the state of Colorado, organizations with similar goals, and its seven regional chapters.

 

The Colorado Native Plant Society has numerous activities that we invite you to participate in to help preserve Colorado's botanical heritage.      The Society inventories and disseminates information about native plants, promotes horticultural uses of native plants, sponsors field trips and workshops, hosts an annual meeting, maintains this web site, stocks a specialized bookstore on the flora of Colorado, provides research grants, and  publishes  the  newsletter Aquilegia.
