Celebrating native plants in El Dorado County.
Protecting wild places and promoting the use of California native plants in gardens and public spaces.
Welcome to El Dorado County CNPS
Welcome to the El Dorado Chapter of the California Native Plant Society. Our chapter lies in El Dorado County on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada, stretching from the foothills at the edge of the Sacramento Valley to the mountains at Echo Summit. Our chapter works to protect and teach about all native plants in the county, from rare to common.
