Get Involved in Plant Conservation

Here are some things that you can do to support the conservation of rare and endangered plant species:

• Plant native plant species grown from seed in your home garden.

• Volunteer to work with rare plant monitoring or restoration efforts at your local botanical garden or conservation organization.

• Practice good land stewardship on your own property.

• Avoid planting invasive, non-native plants in your garden or yard, and assist with efforts to remove them from your neighborhood.

• Help to teach your neighbors and friends about rare plants.

• Document local plant species through photographs and illustrations.

• Reduce your energy use.
