What is the Center for Plant Conservation?
The Center for Plant Conservation (CPC) is national non-profit with the mission to safeguard rare plants by advancing science-based conservation practices, connecting and empowering plant conservationists, and inspiring all to protect biodiversity for future generations. The CPC coordinates a network of over 60 Participating Institutions around the country in their efforts to conserve plant species in need of management and protection. As part of this mission, CPC seeks to train and support the current and future botanical workforce.
