More than a dozen varieties of native perennial plants are available for $4 each, or $15 for a bundle of four. Reserve your plants online at missouriwestern.edu/nativeplantsale/

The chapter will use funds from this sale to send students to important conferences like Midwest Fish & Wildlife and The Wildlife Society Annual Conference each year, as well as fund more speakers for the student chapter and host more professional workshops.
