The Utah Native Plant Society is dedicated to the appreciation, preservation, conservation and responsible use of the native plant and plant communities found in the state of Utah and the Intermountain West.

Our goal is to foster public recognition of the spectacularly diverse flora of the state--a natural treasure to be valued, respected and protected.

In 2008, we celebrated our 30th year. See the Special 30th Anniversary Issue of the Sego Lily newsletter.




Native plants are plants naturally found in nature. These natural plants have adapted to an amazing array of habitats and microclimates, achieving a balance with other living things and forming a foundation for life. Included in the definition of native plants are both vascular (a Sego Lily, sunflower or fern, for example) and non-vascular plants (such as mosses, lichens, and fungi).
