Advocating for Conservation

NPSNM strives to provide members and others with information on the conservation of native plants and habitats on public and private lands in New Mexico and beyond.

Our Conservation Committee advocates for actions grounded in scientific principles that conserve native plant biodiversity, promote the effective use of native plants to save water, land, and wildlife, and cultivate connections between people and plants. They monitor issues affecting the status of native plants and natural habitats and inform and educate both the board and general membership about these issues.

The Conservation Committee includes members from several NPSNM chapters and is headed by conservation chair Sylvan Kaufman. Are there conservation issues in your area? She can be reached at conservation [at] npsnm [dot] org.

Please participate by staying aware of issues and communicating your concerns to us or directly to the powers that be!
