Form 990, Part III, Line 4dOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Native Plant Public Education and Publications: Washington Native Plant Society staff and volunteers provide a broad array of service to the public, its 12 chapters, and 2,544 members statewide, who range from professional experts to enthusiastic novices. Online training became a very popular offering, including subjects such as native pollinators, virtual plant walks, forest fire ecology, climate change, restoration projects and many others covering a large variety of subjects. Plant walks were also offered. A very popular Zoom workshop was Botanical Drawing. Multiple sessions were offered to expand skill over time. This wide variety of educational opportunities continues to attract all levels of expertise. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Study Weekend: Study Weekend is an annual WNPS member event focused on botany with field trips, speakers, dinners, and more. Each year the event is sponsored by a different chapter, allowing this event to be held in diversified areas and widespread throughout the state. Field trips were planned to provide a range of ability levels, from flat short trips to hiking in the remote wilderness. Members chose a field experience for Saturday and Sunday, from the 30 field trip locations offered. Each evening, members gather for dinner and educational evening program. Friday evening, Hillary Franz, WA State DNR Commissioner, met with the audience by Zoom. Saturday evening also presented the annual WNPS Awards as selected by the Board of Directors. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Native Plant Sales: WNPS hosts plant sales that have morphed into online/in-person events at the chapter level for highly sought after native plants around the state. Customers like the at-home online shopping experience, along with knowing which plants are available. These sales provide extensive education of plant materials to home gardeners and landscapers utilizing native species in their landscapes. In 2023, the chapters have improved availability of some selections available for on-site sales during order pick up. Four chapter plant sale stores have been built, providing for chapter revenue to support programs, and resources in the community to support native plant gardening. Hundreds of customers have obtained plants through this program. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Native Plant Grants Program: The standing committees of the Washington Native Plant Society award grants annually for conservation, education, and research. In 2023, they awarded $21,298 in grants. WNPS chapters contributed additional grants of $12,076. And for the sixth year in a row, WNPS was a sponsor of University of Washingtons annual Botany Symposium. Customers for these grants include state agencies, other non-profit organizations, K-12 schools, grad students, and general member volunteers. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Botany Washington: Botany Washington is co-sponsored by the Washington Native Plant Society (WNPS) and the University of Washington Herbarium at the Burke Museum (WTU). Our goal is to provide an outstanding learning opportunity for participants of all botanical skill levels. Botany Washington provides botanists, plant ecologists, restoration ecologists, conservation biologists and other professionals with access to experts and an opportunity for in-depth study of selected taxonomic groups. It is also an opportunity for individuals new to the Flora of the Pacific Northwest to gain additional practice in technical keying with the support of expert guidance.
