The San Diego chapter of California Native Plant Society was chartered in 1967 with 15 members. By 1972 the chapter had doubled in size and focused on studying and protecting San Diego's unique native plants which were threatened by ever increasing development pressure.
Chapter conservation efforts include surveying plant communities, removing exotic plants from natural areas, and reviewing CEQA and other documents for impacts to native vegetation. Scientific data collected during chapter projects is sent to statewide databases that track occurrence and distribution of rare plants, plant communities and invasive exotics.
Meetings: (7:30pm) 3rd Tuesday of the month; Casa del Prado, Balboa Park. Meetings include slide shows and lectures related to the flora of San Diego County and beyond. Topics range from the use of native plants in gardens to the conservation and management of rare and endangered plants and habitats.
