About us
The mission of CNPS is to conserve California native plants and their natural habitats; and increase understanding, appreciation, and horticultural use of native plants.
Did you know we have monthly general meetings at the library? These include informational presentations on all sorts of native plant-related topics, from botanical work done in our region to native plant gardening advice. These are at 7 PM, every 2nd Thursday of the month, at the Chico Branch of the Butte County Library (1108 Sherman Avenue, Chico CA).
Keep in touch with us and get the latest news and event information from our monthly newsletter, the Pipevine. Sign up here!
