Kinnikinnick Native Plant Society

Focusing on native plants and conservation in North Idaho

Conservation Committee Purpose Statement 

 

"The Conservation Committee seeks to work collaboratively with governmental agencies and

private interests to advocate the protection of native plants and their habitats.  Our projects promote education,

conservation and building consensus.  We work to educate our members and the public about issues

important to preserving native plants and strategies that are successful in maintaining the quality of their habitat.

We promote a science-based, sustainable approach to the use of our natural resources."

 

 

Committee Meetings

The Conservation Committee gathers occasionally to discuss impending projects and enjoy each others company.
In addition to watching proposed projects on public lands, the committee recommends policies and positions to the KNPS board
and plans outings to check out interesting areas and populations. All KNPS members are welcome. To be notified of the next
gathering please email... conservation@nativeplantsociety.org .
