The May meeting will

Our Purpose:
The purpose of our group is to protect, perpetuate,
and propagate the abundant native plants of St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana,
and adjacent areas, focusing primarily on our native wildflowers, which
are fast disappearing; and to discourage pollution of our water and ground
so basic to their survival.
