The Jack and Martha Carter Conservation Fund
In 2008, the Native Plant Society of New Mexico initiated an endowment fund to honor life-long conservationists Jack and Martha Carter. An endowment fund
is a long-term investment in the future of the NPSNM. With the Jack and Martha Carter Conservation Fund, we will
be better able to maintain balanced budgets and sustain our grant and donation programs that support education and research programs throughout the state.
