The Gila Native Plant Society is committed to promoting education, research, and appreciation of the native flora of the Southwest; encouraging the preservation of rare and endangered plant species; and supporting the use of suitable native plants in landscaping.
Because of current state restrictions to limit the spread of illness, all Native Plant Society chapter meetings and activities listed on the website and newsletter have been cancelled or postponed until further notice. Informal field trips that might be initiated by members at their own discretion are not sponsored or approved by NPSNM.
For more information on our programs, events and publications, please visit www.gilanps.org.
Meetings are third Fridays October-May at 7 p.m. in WNMU’s Harlan Hall, Room 219, with refreshments following the program.
All programs are free and open to the public. The Gila chapter conducts field trips on the third Sunday of each month from April to September. Each field trip will be to a different location in order to explore the diversity of our native plants. Field trips are free and open to the public. Meet at 8:00 am in the south parking lot of the WNMU Fine Arts Center Theatre for carpooling.
