Society membership offers myriad opportunities for expanding the individual knowledge of anyone interested in Montana's native plants.
MNPS is the premier independent organization in the state working on plant conservation issues.
All members receive the quarterly MNPS newsletter, Kelseya, filled with timely scientific articles and organizational news, as well as a yearly field trip booklet.
Membership is fun and rewarding... why would you read this and not take the next step and join!
Membership Details - How to Join
Membership in the MNPS is on a calendar year basis, March 1 through the end of February the following year. New member applications processed before the end of October will expire the following February. Those processed after the first of November will expire in February of the year after.
You may join in affiliation with a local chapter in Montana or as an at large member. The society welcomes any and all who wish to join us. If you do not live in close proximity to a local chapter, at large membership may be an attractive option for you. If you live in the area of a local chapter, linking with it will expand your opportunities to participate actively in its programs and activities. You may also wish to be the sparkplug who organizes a local chapter where one does not now exist. Full information about membership options, dues, and chapter affiliations is included on the application form, a .pdf file linked from this page.
To join, Click Here for a .pdf Application Form, print and fill out the form, and mail with your dues to: Montana Native Plant Society, PO Box 8783, Missoula, MT 59807-8783. We are a small organization, so we still rely on good old snail mail and checks (remember them?) for this kind of business! Please note that memberships are processed quarterly; your new membership will be welcomed and acknowledged by e-mail and you will receive the most current electronic issue of the Kelseya.
