The North Carolina Native Plant Society offers an array of activities and events! We are a 501c nonprofit with a governing board and local chapters and members across the state. Our chapters are Blue Ridge (Boone area), Southern Piedmont (Charlotte area), Triad (Greensboro area), Triangle (Raleigh area), Land of the Sky (Asheville area, Oconee Bell (Cashiers area), Central Coastal (New Bern area) and SE Coastal (Wilmington area).
The Officers and Board members over see all the legal and tax requirements for the 501c, keep all the financial records, buy the insurance to cover field trips and plant rescues, and provide support to the Chapters.
