Welcome to RIWPS!
Welcome to the Rhode Island Wild Plant Society! Our organization is dedicated to the preservation and protection of Rhode
Island's native plants and their habitats. We thank all those whose presence enriched our recent Native Plant Conference:
Challenges of a Changing Landscape -- from your garden to the New England forest. The upcoming events we look forward to
include our June Native Plant Sale and a rich offering of educational walks and workshops scheduled from May through
October. Feel free to contact us with any suggestions or if you would like to get involved in our growing Society! — Mark W. Carrison, President
