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.

"Nature Coast Chapter Happenings"

Photos from the Croom field trip on April 15.  Colleen Werner from Withlacoochee State Forest hosted the trip.  Colleen was wonderful!

 

The Native Plant Sale on Saturday, March 25th was a big success!  In addition to a variety of plants, customers purchased books, birdboxes, professional photos and learned about the benefits of joining the Nature Coast Chapter of FNPS. 

 

Pictured below are photos from the March Field Trip, "Talk and Walk at Upper Tampa Bay Conservation Park."

 

 

Join our volunteers the fourth Monday of each month from 9 to 10am sprucing up the Nature Coast Chapter Demonstration Garden at Heritage Park.
