About this organization
Mission
The mission of CNPS is to conserve California native plants and their natural habitats, and increase understanding, appreciation, and horticultural use of native plants.
About
PLANT SCIENCECalifornia is increasingly impacted by fire, climate change, and the growing biodiversity crisis. The CNPS Plant Science Division makes important discoveries and much-needed advances to find solutions to these challenges. Under a cooperative agreement with the US Forest Service, CNPS provided scientific information regarding 224 Species of Conservation Concern that occur in six northern forests (Klamath, Lassen, Mendocino, Modoc, Shasta-Trinity, and Six Rivers National Forests). More than 200 volunteers participated in 70 Rare Plant Treasure Hunts to confirm plant occurrences and find new ones. Seeds from 10 rare plant species were collected; once they are cleaned and counted, the seeds will be deposited in an approved seed bank for permanent preservation. CNPS is working actively with local, state and federal partners to sample and monitor vegetation, develop vegetation classifications, and produce fine-scale maps across various areas of the state. This year, CNPS was involved in many survey and mapping projects such as: Point Arena - Stornetta Unit of the California Coast National Monument; Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) habitats across the national forests of California; and Owens Valley in the northern Mojave Desert.
