Over 25 attendees joined the INPS board to celebrate 30 years of native plant advocacy and appreciation. The event lasted two days and offered multiple field trips, dinner, and a presentation. Backbone State Park was where the idea of the INPS was born and it was fitting to return to the space to honor the efforts of countless volunteers over the last three decades.
Day one consisted of three field trips within Backbone State Park. Attendees visited Richmond Springs, the auditorium area, and ventured along the Backbone Trail. The day came to a close with a dinner at Upper Iowa University and a tour of the UIU museum and herbarium.
The final morning offered field trips to a private fen and to a prairie, all within Fayette County.
We greatly appreciate everyone who was able to join us. We are truly grateful for your support! We cannot do this without our members and followers. Here’s to another 30 years!
