Partners for Plants
Partners for Plants (P4P) facilitates hands-on projects between GCA member clubs and land managers on federal, state, local, and other significant public lands. Volunteers work with land agencies to monitor and conserve rare plants, restore native habitats, and remove invasive weeds. Each project serves as a catalyst for accomplishing important endangered plant work that in many cases would not have happened otherwise.
Since the program’s beginning in 1992, the GCA has funded 210 projects with grant funds ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 each. Over the past five years, the GCA has granted $250,000 for P4P.
