The American Conifer Society was founded in 1983[1] to help educate the public about conifers, which are cone-bearing plants.[2] The Society is governed by a board of directors with representation from each of the Society's four regions. The Society publishes the ConiferQuarterly in both digital and hard copy versions and maintains a public website which hosts an extensive conifer database as well as copious articles about identifying, growing and designing with conifers. In addition, the Society holds annual events, including small, informal gatherings and a national meeting, which is rotated among the four regions.
The Society also partners with public gardens to help collect plant materials and build conifer collections.[3]
The Society is the official national registrar for new conifer cultivars.
