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.

Join us for a morning of planting at Laguna Honda reservoir in San Francisco! The California Native Plant Society in partnership with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission will be restoring native habitat around the edges of the historic reservoir. Come learn about the history of this site, stewardship work that’s underway, and how you can help out in the year to come. Whether you’re a returning volunteer or new, we look forward to seeing you out there!
We’ll have tools but folks can bring their own gloves and planting tool(s) of choice, if they like. Most plants will be in 1-gallon pots. A hand pick, trowel, or hori hori would do the job. - Habitat Restoration at Mount DavidsonMt Davidson Fire road , san francisco , CA
