about npsa
 

Based in Pierce County, the Native Plant Salvage Alliance was created in 2003 to serve citizens and restoration projects occurring in the Puget Sound basin.  Barring frozen soil, the NPSA has, until 2012, orchestrated the sweat equity of volunteers to dig for beneficial plants before bulldozers arrive for development.

 

Along the way, NPSA has educated volunteers about the identity and values of native plants.  Plants logs, moss and duff salvaged by NPSA volunteers have all been utilized in habitat regional restoration projects and education displays; while others have used their salvaged plants in commercial and residential landscapes.

Nearly 500 unique volunteers are making use of native plants from this site for restoration projects occurring throughout King and Pierce Counties, and elsewhere too. Home owning event participants are also experiencing the numerous benefits related to the use of native plants - benefits that reach well beyond the boundaries of their properties, but which create community for people and wildlife alike.
