The Center for Plant Conservation (CPC) is dedicated solely to preventing
the extinction of U.S. native plants. The Center was one of the first
organizations created to meet this need. The Center is a network of 39
leading botanic institutions. Founded in 1984, the Center operates the only
coordinated national program of off-site (ex situ) conservation of rare
plant material. This conservation collection ensures that material is
available for restoration and recovery efforts for these species. CPC also
works in research, restoration, technical assistance, education and
advocacy through the efforts of the network and the national office.
