Cuplet Fern helps serve more than 720,000 residents of Seminole and West Volusia, saving plants and educating, and making nature accessible to all. As one of Florida Native Plant Society's largest chapters, our nonprofit welcomes hundreds of people a year to our outreaches. From inspiring educational programs to serene field trips, innovative collaborations, and native plant art, we believe in protecting our state’s natural treasures for wildlife and for all people.

Today, Cuplet Fern is a nationally recognized environmental education charity, offering streams of eco-camp scholarships that help get children outdoors every year in collaboration with the Seminole county Leisure Services. With more than 300 members and countless supporters, we advocate in Sanford and beyond, and conduct conservation research to preserve the natural heritage of our locality for today’s and future generations. We welcome you to explore a nearby sanctuary, find inspiration, and get involved.

Enjoy Florida Native Plant Society membership perks to a network of experiential learning opportunities, offering diverse discussions to explore.
