FNPS Position Statements
Guiding Our Conservation Advocacy
Science-Backed Policies for Protecting Native Florida
The Florida Native Plant Society (FNPS) is committed to preserving the diversity, integrity, and resilience of Florida’s native plant communities. Our position statements reflect where we stand on key conservation issues—grounded in science, guided by experience, and designed to influence policy and practice.
These statements help clarify our values, inform public education, guide advocacy, and support consistent decision-making across our statewide chapters.
Why Position Statements Matter
Florida’s landscapes are under constant pressure—from development, invasive species, and climate disruption to water mismanagement and habitat fragmentation. Our position statements give voice to our mission and offer clear recommendations for safeguarding native plants and their habitats.
FNPS position statement include a policy summary and official stance, scientific and conservation context, calls to action or guidance for members, land managers, the public and policymakers.
