Join Committees and Projects
As a volunteer organization CoNPS is successful because of the creativity, involvement and commitment of our members. Our volunteers do everything from running the annual conference, giving garden tours, doing field research or running plant identification workshops. On this page are listed eleven committees that run all aspects of the organization.
Each of the committees offers specific activities that we encourage you to join. Click on each tab to see what things you can do to support our society.
