The Nevada Native Plant Society (NNPS), founded in 1975, 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.

  • “It is my hope that this society will bring together people of all walks of life who share a common bond ... the love of native plants. Not all of us are interested in plants in the same way, or have the same training or experience, but we can learn from each other and hopefully pass our feelings for native plants on to others.”

    Margaret Williams, Founding President, NNPS
