Other Native Plant Rescue Organizations
Native plant rescue is happening in different regions under different names: plant salvage, native plant rescue, seed rescue, and habitat salvage. These organizations share a common goal: conserving native plants, preserving local genetic diversity, and reducing the loss of native ecosystems before they are disturbed by development or land-use change.
