OUR MISSION

United Plant Savers’ mission is to protect native medicinal plants, fungi, and their habitats while ensuring renewable populations for future generations.

OUR VISION
Medicinal species are readily available and are harvested and cultivated with practices that protect native plants, fungi, and their habitats and that embody the principles of reciprocity, right livelihood, and biocultural diversity.

The work of United Plant Savers involves research, education, and conservation of native medicinal plants and their habitats. We hope that you will join us in this worthwhile and important mission. UpS is a 501 (C)3 non-profit organization.
