Who We Are and What We Do

Updated June 14, 2008

The Native Plant Conservation Campaign (NPCC) is a national network of affiliate native plant societies, botanical gardens, and other plant conservation organizations. We collaborate to exchange information,  and create a strong national voice to advocate for native plant species and community conservation through 

• Equal funding and protection for plants and other species in conservation law and practice
• improved staffing and funding for plant conservation and research, 
• stronger Federal laws for conservation of native plants and ecosystems
• prevention and control of infestation by invasive exotic plants
• use of local native plants in restoration and gardening

NPCC also performs independent research, and publishes reports,  literature reviews, brochures, and digests discussing  scientific and legal issues in plant conservation.

• Affiliates and Cooperators
• Publications

• Comment Letters and Testimony
