Stewardship Training: WNPS educates community volunteers about our regions native plants and plant communities, and teaches how to use this knowledge to protect and restore Washingtons natural ecosystems. WNPS has committed over twenty years of steward training to conserve, protect and sustain the biodiversity of the native flora of Washington. Participants agree to return service hours at least equivalent to their training hours in efforts such as habitat restoration in forests and woodlands, shrub-steppe, prairies, riparian and wetlands. By using stewardship training to support our YEER program above, both programs benefit each other. Continuing education is also offered to Veteran Plant Stewards.
