The New England Wild Flower Society has a big announcement. Since its founding in 1900 as the Society for the Protection of Native Plants, it has had four names.
“In 2019 we are ready for one that is better aligned with our mission, our impact…and our roots. After a great deal of research and careful consideration, we are pleased to announce that New England Wild Flower Society is now Native Plant Trust – Conserving and promoting New England’s native plants. Our new name more accurately reflects our mission and our achievements in conservation, horticulture, and education. The tagline is an abbreviated version of our mission statement and communicates our geographic focus. We are grateful to our board, staff, volunteers, and members who helped us throughout the process, and we are excited to share this news with our supporters across the region and around the world.
