Join the Georgia Native Plant Society for Plant Rescues

The Georgia Native Plant Society (gnps.org) organizes plant rescues at development sites, saving native flora from destruction. Trips are usually in the metro area, moderately easy, and a fantastic way to learn native plant ID. Bring plastic bags, a small shovel, and sturdy shoes. Membership is affordable, and you can bring a guest on your first rescue. The society's guides identify every find. It's conservation, education, and free plants all in one.
