About Us

  • United Plant Savers

    United Plant Savers’ mission is to protect native medicinal plants of the United States and Canada and their native habitat while ensuring an abundant renewable supply of medicinal plants for generations to come.

    These Are Exciting Times for Herbalists. We are witnessing the art of herbalism rapidly regaining its rightful place in the American tradition of health and healing. However, as herbalism flourishes and winds its way into the “mainstream” of America, it is eliciting a unique set of problems and concerns.

  • International Herb Symposium

    The International Herb Symposium is committed to creating a welcoming, engaging and inclusive gathering that represents and honors the diverse and varied traditions present in herbalism. We come together in honor of the plants and in the spirit of respect & reciprocity to share and learn from one another. By coming together in this way, we strive to create local & global communities dedicated to healing and caretaking the Earth and all beings.

  • Boreal Night Media, Our Common Roots

    As individuals we all have a great deal to share regarding the plant kingdom. From our surroundings to places far beyond. Our goal is to contribute in that process through participation in the International Herb Symposium Film Festival.
