Native Orchid Conservation Inc. is a non-profit organization, founded in April of 1998, whose purpose is to protect unique mini-ecosystems and their plant communities.  This primarily involves native orchids but can also extend to other rare and/or endangered plants.

Native Orchid Conservation Inc. has six main objectives:

  1. To identify areas containing rare native plant species that are at present unprotected.
     
  2. To work alone and with other conservation bodies, governments, and private corporations to conserve native plant species and their habitat in Manitoba and throughout Canada.
     
  3. To perform research and field studies and to preserve data on, and specimens of, native plants.
     
  4. To foster an awareness and appreciation of rare native plant species through education and display.
     
  5. To provide an association and a voice for those interested in the conservation of native plants and the natural environment.
     
  6. To provide field trips and opportunities for study for students and others interested in learning more about our native plant species.
