Palm Beach County’s rapid loss of native

vegetation has human and ecological

consequences for today… and the future.

When you retain native plants, you

benefit yourself, your children, and the

county’s precious natural resources.

The Preservation of Native Canopy Education Program is funded by the

Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners UF/IFAS is an Equal Opportunity Institution.
