Legislative Progress

Key Points
- This resolution officially recognizes April 2026 as National Native Plant Month to celebrate the more than 17,000 plant species that grow naturally across the United States.
- The proposal aims to teach people how native plants help clean our air, filter our water, and provide the right kind of food and shelter for local birds and bees.
- It highlights that over 200 native plant species have been lost since the 1800s because of things like new construction, extreme weather, and invasive plants from other places.
- This is a ceremonial action, which means it shows what the House of Representatives supports but does not create new laws, spend taxpayer money, or change any regulations.
