ILLINOIS NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY

The Grand Prairie Chapter is centered in the heart of the prairie state amidst what was once a vast, biodiverse grassland. This newest chapter of INPS is located in the Bloomington-Normal region... Our vision for Illinois is a thriving native flora, a public that values native habitats and advocates for native plants, and a robust array of scientific and popular publications that educate and inform about these issues... Illinois holds a great diversity of natural habitats and communities, from cypress swamps in the south, beech-maple forests in the east, tallgrass prairies in the central region, steep bluffs and palisades along the western rivers, bogs and wetlands in the northern counties, and numerous other unique natural communities in between. As a state, we are fortunate to have a great legacy of individuals and organizations that have devoted immense time and efforts toward the study, protection, and care of our natural resources.
