Welcome to the Nevada Native Plant Society Website Sticky

The Nevada Native Plant Society (NNPS) is a non-profit corporation organized solely for educational, scientific and charitable purposes for the stimulation of interest in and the developing of an appreciation for native Nevada plants and their preservation.

The Society is supported entirely by membership dues, gifts, and various fundraising activities. All interested in learning more about, conserving, growing, or just seeing and appreciating the 2800+ wild plant species of Nevada and the adjacent Great Basin, Mojave Desert, and eastern Sierra Nevada regions are encouraged to join and participate.

Upcoming Events

NNPS has several opportunities this summer to participate in local events where we can sell books and recruit new members. Since NNPS is supported entirely through membership dues, donations, and book sales, this it's very important to attend these events and get our name and products out to a wider audience. If you would like to help with an event, even if it's just for a couple of hours, please contact the person listed for the event.

June 1st ♦ Plant sale at the Wilbur D May Arboretum NNPS will have a table at the sale. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Pat Neyman at pf41n@yahoo.com

June 9th ♦ Native Species Day at Taylor Creek Visitor Center, South Lake Tahoe. NNPS will have booth at this event. If you would like to volunteer to help at the booth, please contact Cheryl Beyer at ltbmu.botanist.cherylbeyer@gmail.com.

Thank you,
