Get Involved!
Help grow CNPS and support our mission to protect, conserve and enjoy California’s native plants and their habitats! Our chapter is entirely volunteer-run, so there are lots of opportunities to get involved.
Current Open Positions
Hike Leaders
Are you excited to share your favorite hiking trail with other native plant enthusiasts? Then consider offering to lead or co-lead a CNPS hike. Hikes are offered year-round, are open to the general public, and are offered free of charge. Hikes are offered in any of the Northern San Joaquin Valley Chapter’s membership area of San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced counties or maybe even elsewhere in California.
If you aren’t too sure about your native plant identification skills you may request to be paired with a CNPS plant expert. If your expertise is in birds, mushrooms, insects, ethnobotany, geology etc. rather than plants, then that makes for an even better hike!
