About this conference
The CNPS Conference, held every three years, is the largest native plant gathering in California. It brings together plant lovers and professionals across disciplines to share knowledge and build community on behalf of the state's extraordinarily rich biodiversity. The conference explores how collective work in horticulture and land management, conservation, education, and plant science can lead to a better future for California's native plants, many of which are imperiled by climate change and biodiversity loss.
