The California Native Plant Society is a statewide non-profit organization
of amateurs and professionals with a common interest in California's native plants. Its principal aims are to preserve the native flora and
to add to the knowledge of members and the public at large.
The Dorothy King Young Chapter serves coastal Mendocino County, the northern coastal area of Sonoma County, and nearby areas. We host activities throughout the year for members and the general public. These include:
- regular meetings featuring informative guest speakers
- field trips
- educational functions
- plant sales
- weed eradication
We also provide input and information to governmental and private agencies about projects of local and statewide interest which may have effects on native plants.

About Native Plants
We tend to think of places like the Arctic, the Antarctic, the Gobi, the Sahara, the Mojave, as primitive, but there are in fact no primitive or even primeval landscapes. Neither are there permanent landscapes. And nowhere is the land empty or underdeveloped. It cannot be improved upon with technological assistance.
