Our primary goal is to Save Plants, in doing so, we know it is also important to recognize the champions who are helping us to achieve this. This month, we are happy to share with you the stories of some of our “director trustees” – the men and women who serve on our Board of Trustees and serve as executive directors and CEOs of some of the top botanical gardens in the country.

America’s flora is at risk, but it can be saved.
Today nearly 30% of the native flora in the United States is considered to be of conservation concern. Without human intervention, many of these plants may be gone within our lifetime. 80% of at-risk species are closely related to plants with economic value and more than 50% are related to crop species.
Plants in Peril.
CPC’s National Collection of Endangered Plants is composed of the most imperiled plants in the country. An important conservation resource, the Collection is a backup in case a species becomes extinct or no longer reproduces in the wild. Live plant material is collected from nature under controlled conditions and then carefully maintained as seed, rooted cuttings or mature plants.
