Grand Canyon National Park has more plant species than any other national park in the United States and is committed to maintaining a native habitat for our vegetation, wildlife, endangered species, and water resources.
Through the supporter-funded construction of a high-capacity, energy-efficient greenhouse, the park’s vegetation crews can now grow double the number of plants to support ecology restoration projects at the rim and along the river. Supporters and volunteers continue to assist with greenhouse operations by gathering seeds and cuttings and helping to maintain native habitat throughout the park.
