Every member of INPS is a potential ambassador to the public. Your passion for nature and native plants is a force for good that can draw new members to engage with our organization. Here are some ideas to run with.

We invite any of you to set up an INPS display at your local gardening or conservation event, using outreach materials that we provide. All you need is a table on which to set up the INPS display or poster and lay out brochures. Outreach materials available
