Welcome to Santa Cruz County CNPS
The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) is a statewide non-profit organization of amateurs and professionals with a common interest in California’s native plants. CNPS seek to increase understanding and appreciation of California’s native plants and to preserve them in their natural habitat through scientific activities, education, and conservation.
The statewide CNPS organization has 36 regional chapters. The Santa Cruz County Chapter extends from the coast of Monterey Bay to the crests of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Each chapter is independent but receives support from the CNPS state office.
