Native plants are the foundation of our ecosystems
We are on a mission to save the native plants and natural habitats that make the West Kootenay unique. KNPS connects people, plants, and place through science, education and restoration.
Respect
native plants; they need our help
Habitat destruction and climate change threaten the plants that make the West Kootenay special.
Protect
natural habitats with native plants
Preserving native plant habitat in wild areas is essential to support a full range of biodiversity.
Connect
with native plants in your yard
Restoring nature, protecting plants and pollinators, nurturing wildlife—these can all be done by you when you garden with native plants.
