The Jack & Martha Carter Conservation Fund is a means of protecting our small part of planet Earth for future generations.

Jack and Martha Carter

The Jack & Martha Carter Conservation Fund allows the Native Plant Society of New Mexico (NPSNM) to award conservation, restoration, research and educational grants to individuals, communities and organizations in support of the NPSNM mission.

Jack Carter, a former president of NPSNM and professor at Western New Mexico University, initiated an investment fund for this purpose. Early on, he pointed out the importance of educating the community about native plants and their conservation. Now retired in Colorado, he and his wife Martha have authored popular guides to native plants of the Southwest and continue to inspire us in our cause.

We encourage you to become a part of this important effort to protect New Mexico’s natural heritage. Due to your generous support over the years, we have been able fund a wide variety of projects that support our goals. CLICK HERE to see some of our grants and reports.
