The North American Native Plant Society is a volunteer-operated registered charitable organization concerned with preserving native plant habitat in wild areas and restoring indigenous flora to developed areas. It is our belief that nature belongs in urban, suburban, and rural areas as much as in remote areas. To that end, we host a variety of seminars and workshops, provide a seed exchange, operate Canada’s largest native plant sale each May, publish a quarterly newsletter and e-newsletter, provide a forum for people interested in learning more about native plants and manage two conservation properties in Ontario.
