Join California Native Plant Society Yerba Buena (San Francisco) chapter as we make it easier for individuals, businesses and the city of San Francisco to choose native plants for their green spaces. Native plants are the base of our food web. Our bees, butterflies and birds co-evolved with our native plants. Our ecosystem functions depend on native plants. As a California Native Plant Society Yerba Buena volunteer, you will use your visual and graphical artistic design skills to design attractive plant lists based on our many existing lists of plants that are in words and need pictures. Our existing list of both wordy plant lists that need to become visually appealing (color, shade, long blooming, containers, butterfly larval plants, wildflowers, edible; plant communities including dune, coastal dune scrub, oak woodland, grasslands, serpentine, riparian, chaparral) and a few graphical plant lists (bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, sidewalk, ethnobotany) are on the biodiversity page of our website. http://cnps-yerbabuena.org/ biodiversity/biodiversity- resources/

Mission Statement
The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) is a statewide non-profit organization of amateurs and professionals. Our goals are to increase understanding of California’s native flora and to preserve this rich natural heritage for future generations. The Yerba Buena Chapter encompasses San Francisco and northern San Mateo Counties and is named for the tiny fragrant mint Satureja douglasii found in this area. Chapter Activities are as diverse as our membership and range from conservation and habitat restoration to native plant gardening and photography.
Description
Since its beginnings, the California Native Plant Society has been a leading voice in plant science and native plant appreciation, making it one of the foremost native plant organizations in the world. We are a 501(c) 3 non-profit dedicated to conserving California native plants and their natural habitats, while increasing the understanding, enjoyment, and horticultural use of native plants. We work closely with decision-makers, scientists, and local planners to advocate for well-informed and environmental friendly policies, regulations, and land management practices.
We accomplished our mission through education, plant science, advocacy, land stewardship and native plant gardening.
