The Intertribal Nursery Council (INC) is a USDA Forest Service-managed, tribally guided, organization for advancing the interests of native peoples involved with plant production in nurseries. Key focal points of the organization include: technology transfer and sharing, conservation education, preservation of ecological knowledge, reforestation, restoration, and nursery training.

NANPS is a volunteer-operated, registered charitable organization dedicated to the protection, preservation, cultivation and promotion of flora indigenous to North America in both urban and wild areas. The society was founded in 1985 by a small group of dedicated conservationists as the Canadian Wildflower Society. NANPS is based out of the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) with membership that draws from across Canada and the USA. To reflect the wider membership base and to acknowledge that plants don’t recognize political boundaries, the society changed its name to the North American Native Plant Society in 1999. In 1985 we founded North America’s foremost native plant magazine:  Wildflower. NANPS later replaced Wildflower with a 16-page quarterly, The Blazing Star, in 2004. The Wildflower name lives on as the magazine for members of Texas’s Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

Tribal Alliance for Pollinators (TAP) is a new Native-led nonprofit organization that unites traditional ecological knowledge with cutting edge technical resources to create an innovative model for conservation and restoration of tribal lands. It provides hands-on training and technical support for tribes that want to help threatened pollinators and to preserve the native plants that serve as the foundation for Indigenous cultural, medicinal and culinary traditions.   Additionally, TAP has a seed bank and a lending library of equipment to facilitate the installation of the native plant plugs at restoration plots. This library includes specialized mobile clearing equipment, gas-powered planting augers and mobile watering tanks, and is available at no cost for TAP tribal partners to use.

The Prairie Reconstruction Initiative (PRI) is a collaboration among practitioners and researchers from more than 30 organizations, including federal, state and local agencies, tribal communities, non-governmental organizations, and private individuals throughout the prairie region. We are committed to learning how to consistently plant a floristically diverse prairie that has minimal weed pressure and maintains its integrity. By sharing our experiences and pooling our data, we can accelerate our collective understanding of prairie reconstruction and uncover key elements in the process to increase the likelihood we all succeed.

American Prairie represents a unique effort to assemble a multi-million-acre nature reserve that conserves the species-rich grasslands of Montana’s legendary Great Plains for the enjoyment of future generations. When complete, American Prairie will span more than three million acres of private and public land, showcasing the iconic landscape that once dominated central North America and helped shape our national character.
