The Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance, or GPCA, is a network of 54 public gardens, government agencies, academic institutions, utility companies and environmental organizations committed to preserving Georgia’s endangered flora. The GPCA initiates and coordinates efforts to protect natural habitats and endangered species through biodiversity management, public education and rare plant propagation and outplanting (i.e., safeguarding). Member organizations are engaged in recovery projects for 112 plant species, including 29 federally listed species.
