Description

Your gift of $4,000 will help protect one entire native species.


New England Wild Flower Society's seed bank for the region's rare and endangered plants is critical to the preservation of native flora and genetic diversity. By 2020, we aim to collect and preserve seed from all the 388 rare or endangered species in the region, of which 62 species are globally rare, and from 1,000 different populations. We are less than a third of the way to our goal and need your support to reach 100%!
