Welcome to the
Kinnikinnick Native Plant Society

As a part of the world’s largest inland temperate rainforest ecosystem, North Idaho’s richly diverse plant community has nurtured life and livelihoods for centuries.

KNPS Grant Success!

In October, KNPS was awarded a $1,000 grant from Angels Over Sandpoint to support revision of the Landscape book. The grant is earmarked to pay for layout and design of the latest edition of the book.

Coupled with the Equinox Foundation Grant, KNPS has received $11,000 in grant funding in 2025. In Spring 2026, we hope to apply for and receive grant funding for our educational projects like Tree Cookie Tuesdays and the Tree Tours.
