 Introduction

Wellington Botanical Society, established in 1939, has membership of approximately 350 professional and amateur botanists.   Our activities include research, field work, publication, advocacy, and the provision of botanical expertise.

We advocate the conservation and protection of NZ native plants.

We aim to encourage the study of botany, particularly NZ flora, foster an interest of NZ plants especially in the field and encourage the cultivation of native plants and protect lands and waters (under protected area statues) in their natural state.
