The Center for Plant Conservation is a national coalition of institutions concerned with the protection of native North American plants.

The New England Wild Flower Society is a founding member and active participant in the Center for Plant Conservation (CPC). Comprising botanic gardens, arboreta, universities, land management agencies, and conservation organizations from across the United States, the CPC works to save plants from extinction. Through its National Collection of Endangered Plants, the CPC maintains a safeguard against extinction in the wild. Participating organizations house live materials, carefully collected from nature as seed, rooted cuttings, tissue culture, or mature plants. NEWFS currently maintains 17 species in its seed bank of frozen and dried specimens.
