Welcome to Our Chapter

Welcome to the Pahove Chapter of the Idaho Native Plant Society. We are located in Boise and support the citizens of the Treasure Valley and beyond. 

2020/2021 Meetings/Presentations

Unfortunately, due to the current situation with the coronavirus, chapter presentations and events were put on hold. We are hopeful that regular presentations will resume this fall, but we will have to wait and see. Our members only kick off event is held in September. Our regular line-up of presentations will begin in October and is open to members and anyone who is interested in attending. Presentations have traditionally taken place on the second Tuesday of each month from October through April at the MK Nature Center at 7pm. The MKNC is located at 600 S. Walnut Street behind Fish and Game headquarters. Refreshments and light snacks are served.
