The Florida Native Plant Society was organized in 1980 to promote the preservation, conservation, and restoration of the native plants and native plant communities of Florida.

Pinellas Chapter members gather to hear an entertaining and informative speaker on the first Wed. of each month at Moccasin Lake Nature Park, 2750 Park Trail Lane, Clearwater, FL 33759. Come and you will also enjoy refreshments, a silent auction of plants, and a review of local environmental issues and upcoming events. The public is welcome at all meetings and field trips. (See Calendar for upcoming speakers, directions and maps.)

Field trips are usually held the Saturday following the monthly membership meeting. Carpooling is encouraged. Consult the program calendar for dates, times and meeting locations, or call the Pinellas FNPS Info Line: (727) 544-7341.
