Become a Partner in Herbal Education

Join us in our mission to Plant the Future through the conservation of our native medicinal plants.

Introducing the idea of at-risk medicinal plant conservation to herbalism students is essential to the mission of United Plant Savers.

To help facilitate this introduction, UpS offers a special student membership of $20 per student for all schools, apprentice programs, and training courses that enroll their students as a group.

STEP ONE:

Join UpS as a Partner in Herbal Education (PIE membership)

STEP TWO:

Once your school obtains a PIE membership, there are two ways to sign your students up:

  • The BEST way is to add $20 to your program tuition fee, then automatically enroll each of your students as members of UpS.
  • Or, at the start of your program, offer the students the opportunity to join UpS for the $20 student member fee. You can collect the fees and send the information in.

We do require that all students who enroll in Partners In Education send in their fees together. Please download this spreadsheet to use when collecting information from your students to send to us.

The Partners in Education membership must be renewed annually at the PIE/Non-Profit rate of $50 in order to maintain your PIE benefits.
