Welcome to the Nature Coast Chapter of FNPS

The mission of the Florida Native Plant Society is to promote the preservation, conservation and restoration of native plants and native plant communities of Florida.

Conservation

We work to protect plants and their habitat by supporting acquisition and management of Florida's remaining natural lands.

Restoration

Restoration brings back life on degraded lands to improve habitat for wildlife and the plants they require for survival.
