About the Illinois Native Plant Society

The Illinois Native Plant Society was organized as the Southern Illinois Native Plant Society by Dr. Robert Mohlenbrock at Southern Illinois University in 1982.  In 1986 it expanded to become the statewide organization we know today.  The Society currently consists of approximately 500 members that participate at two levels, state and chapter.  There are currently 6 chapters of INPS located across the state.   Members include professionals and amateurs who share an interest in all aspects of the flora native to the state of Illinois.

Society and Chapter and activities include field trips, lectures, slide shows, and workshops.  Please refer to the Chapter info page to contact your local INPS Chapter and learn about activities in your area.
