Native Plants
Finding Species has collaborated with the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, Department of Botany to document woody plants of the Washington, DC Metro Area and the trees and shrubs of New York City’s Central Park to protect native plant species, habitats, and the wildlife that depend on them. The organization is also collaborating with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chesapeake Bay Field Office for this project. The project is intended to develop on-line resources for the public to identify species and guide them to the types of species they would like to use in conservation landscaping.
