Our Grant

The Native Plant Society of Northeastern Ohio annually offers a grant for work in the field of botany or conservation that supports the mission of the Native Plant Society and demonstrates excellence in research, conservation, or education. The grant comes from an endowment fund overseen by the Native Plant Society.  This fund was established by Ann Malmquist, a founding member and our first President.  Over the years many members have contributed to it.  Some of the recent grantees and the projects funded by the grant are listed below:

Stacey Heffernan of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History (CMNH) for her Future Scientists Tremont Neighborhood Urban Ecology project;

Jim Bissell of CMNH to aid in the purchase of a parcel for the North Kingsville Swamp;

Dr. Shya Chitaley of CMNH for a research assistant for a study of a 360 million year old fossil forest of Lycopods in northeastern Ohio;
