The California Native Plant Society (CNPS), particularly its San Gabriel Mountains Chapter, is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to the preservation of California's rich native flora. With a membership of approximately 200 passionate individuals, the chapter engages in numerous activities that celebrate and protect the state's unique plant life. Members, ranging from amateurs to professionals, connect through monthly meetings featuring educational speakers, field trips, and plant sales. The chapter also actively participates in conservation projects and outreach programs, promoting awareness of native gardening and sustainable practices.

In addition to events and educational initiatives, CNPS offers resources such as seasonal wildflower reports and plant identification workshops, fostering a community that values ecological stewardship. Acknowledging the importance of diversity and inclusion, the chapter invites individuals from all backgrounds to join their mission. Through both volunteer opportunities and membership, CNPS provides a welcoming platform for those interested in botany, ecology, and the beauty of California’s natural heritage.
