Field Trips
Over the years, GNPS members have enjoyed participating in field trips led by local enthusiasts, other GNPS members, and like-minded groups willing to share their knowledge and provide insight into locations and the plants that grow there.
Watch our calendar to learn more about the Georgia Native Plant Society field trips scheduled for our members across Georgia. Please contact us if you have identified a location that others would enjoy visiting. A local gem that you are highly familiar with will likely be appreciated as well by our members who would enjoy a field trip to your neck of the woods!
