CoNPS Annual Conference Photo Galleries

The Colorado Native Plant Society’s Annual Conference, run by our Conference Committee, is traditionally held in September of each year.  This year it will be held in Boulder, Colorado on September 17th.  The conference will be preceeded by the Colorado Rare Plant Symposium on Friday, September 16, run by the Colorado Rare Plant Task Force and the Colorado Natural Heritage program.

The Annual Conference is run all day Saturday with multiple presentations given in the morning and afternoon.  There is often a CoNPS social which is run on Friday or Saturday night.  On Sunday a variety of field trips to nearby location are organized.

In 2020 the Society gave its first all-virtual Rare Plant Symposium, Friday Social, and Annual Conference because of the corona virus pandemic, but in 2021 we returned live in Trinidad, Colorado.
