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.

2019 Photo Contest is now open for submissions

It's time for another photo contest!  The photos will be used to create a NNPS Calendar for 2020. Each member may submit up to four photos. Please do not submit photos that were entered in previous years. 

Photos must not contain borders, decorations, watermarks, trademarks, or other personally identifiable markings. The photographers will be credited on the calendar. The original photos must be at least 3300 pixels wide and/or 2500 pixels tall to print properly.  The webmaster will contact photographers for original photos after the voting.

Submission Deadline September 30th, 2019.   Voting for favorites will begin October 1st.

We are also taking pre-orders for the calendars.  This allows us to order the right number of calendars.  Pre-ordered calendars will be available at cost plus postage (or pick up for free in Reno, Carson City, or Henderson) but we will not know the cost for each until we have the order ready.  We anticipate a printing cost between $8 and $10 depending on the number of calendars ordered.  The calendar will also be available for purchase from our online store.

You must log in to your account to create entries.

Margaret Williams Research Grant Proposals due February 1st

Proposals for the Margaret Williams Research Grants are due February 1st of each year.  Please visit the Grants page for more information.

These grants are designed to facilitate basic botanical research and increase our understanding of Nevada's native and naturalized flora. The research should cover some aspect of our flora from single species to whole communities or ecosystems. Research can include, but is not limited to, disciplines such as conservation, landscape analysis, ecology, biogeography, or taxonomy.

Wildflower books now available on the web

Member Judy Davis has volunteered to fill book orders for us.  Check out the new listing in our web store.
