United Plant Savers
Rutland, OH

Mission

The mission of United Plant Savers is to protect native medicinal plants of the United States and Canada and their native habitat while ensuring an abundant renewable supply of medicinal plants for generations to come.

We envision a world where the plants that heal us are themselves whole and thriving. By promoting "at-risk" species and establishing Botanical Sanctuaries, we aim to bridge the gap between herbalism and conservation through the practice of forest farming.
