What is TEAMVALOR786 Succulents and Cacti all about?

 TEAMVALOR786 Succulents and Cacti was founded with the mission of conserving our rare and endangered species. We are a unofficial organization and are located at the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains.  Our goal is to raise awareness of endangered species and encourage their ethical cultivation. By discouraging poaching and encouraging the ethical cultivation of plants, we can help protect the future of our ecosystems, and help throw a wrench in organized crime that buying poached plants funds. Volunteer with us We run on incredibly thin funding and all of our funds are used to maintain our collection or acquire new plants. We hope to conduct some plant sales to help obtain funds, but we have never requested money donations from strangers and this is possible because of the nice people at botanical gardens and other amazing people who help us . Email us at teamvalor786sac@gmail.com to register to volunteer with us.
