Pawpaw chapter members regularly volunteer their time to various projects that promote the FNPS mission to preserve, conserve, and restore the native plants and native plant communities of Florida. This includes maintaining the chapter demonstration garden at South Daytona's Park of Honor, roadside cleanups on the chapter's adopted section of State highway 40 west of Ormond Beach, native plant propagation plus projects to study and protect the chapter namesake plant, Deeringothamnus rugelii.
