Welcome to the Nature Coast Chapter of FNPS

The mission of the Florida Native Plant Society is to champion Florida's native plants and their habitats.

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.

Looking for something to do? Visit the USF Botanical Gardens for a magical experience.
