future floraThe Center for Plant Conservation (CPC) is tasked with saving native plants. Through our network of Participating Institutions, we protect plant diversity for future generations.

Champion the cause of diversity by supporting the CPC today.

Diversity matters and plants are no exception. Just like a diverse investment portfolio is robust, a diverse workforce is capable, and a diverse diet is healthy, a diverse planet, full of all kinds of plants and other living things, is resilient and strong.

With your help, we remain a global leader in saving diversity.

The CPC has advocated for diversity since 1984, becoming the authority on protecting rare plants in North America. And through the CPC National Collection of nearly 800 kinds of rare plants, we actively ensure that plant diversity is here to stay.

The CPC works locally, nationally and globally to tackle conservation challenges.

The CPC ensures resources, facilities and expertise are available to our partners for conservation programs underway. The CPC embodies the notion of acting locally and thinking globally.

Are you willing to help make a green and diverse future a reality?

Saving diversity for the future will take more than experts alone. We are looking beyond traditional ways of thinking about plants and how we care for them. Our goal is to enlist a greater diversity of people to help create the world we all want.

Your support will ensure that we are ready and able to meet the future head on.

We need you to help ensure the future of our flora. Your financial contributions are vital to saving plants. With your support, our future flora will be as diverse and green as future generations deserve. Please join the CPC today!
