Las Cruces – Native Plant Society of New Mexico

The Las Cruces Chapter of the Native Plant Society of New Mexico is pleased to offer our first annual $500 grant to a student at NMSU whose work/project/research is highly related to the organization's mission. Please see submittal requirements here, and alert your students to the deadline: October 15, 2022. We look forward to hearing from them and awarding the $500. Spread the word!

Meetings are second or third Wednesdays of the month (unless otherwise noted) at 7 P.M.. September marks our first "hybrid" in-person/Zoom meeting, and we hope to continue this format for the time being. Information on individual meetings and field trips can be found on the right hand side of this page, or on our events calendar.

If you have never participated in a Zoom meeting before, download the free Zoom application into your computer ahead of time by going to https://www.zoom.us/ . You will only have to do this once to join any meeting in the future, although Zoom may take an extra minute to update security features on occasion. Chapter members receive a link to each meeting by email. If you are interested but are not a member of the Las Cruces chapter, send an email to LC@npsnm.org.
