The Maryland Native Plant Society

2024 Plant Blitz

Join us in May for a field trip, or two. We’ll be offering excursions across the state and documenting the plants we encounter with the iNaturalist app.

If you’d like some training on how to use iNaturalist, we’re holding a training session on April 23. By using iNaturalist, we’ll be able to easily contribute data to the Maryland Biodiversity Project.
