What we’re about
The California Native Plant Society is a statewide non-profit organization of amateurs and professionals. Our goals are to increase understanding of California’s native flora and to preserve this rich natural heritage for future generations. The Yerba Buena Chapter encompasses San Francisco and northern San Mateo Counties and is named for the tiny fragrant mint Satureja douglasii found in this area.
Chapter Activities are as diverse as our membership and range from conservation and habitat restoration to native plant gardening, hiking and photography.

- Cookies & Conversation- A Cookie Social to Save Crocker Amazon ParkCrocker Amazon Playground, San Francisco, CA
What's your vision for a fun and healthy Crocker Amazon Park?
Join "Keep Crocker Real" at the clubhouse for cookies and conversation about San Francisco Recreation and Park's radical proposal to chop down most of the grand old trees, expand the paved parking lot and install nearly 20-acres of fenced-off artificial turf baseball fields.
We'll work with the community to find how our city should really invest $45 million into the park they know and love. A fresh coat of paint for the clubhouse might be nice, for instance.
