Supporting the designation of April 2025 as "National Native Plant Month".

Key Points

• This resolution asks the House of Representatives to name April 2025 as National Native Plant Month. It aims to teach people about the 17,000 types of plants that grow naturally across the United States.
• Native plants are important because they help clean our air and filter our water. They also provide the specific food and shelter that local birds, bees, and butterflies need to survive.
• The United States has lost more than 200 native plant species since the early 1800s. Lawmakers want to highlight how habitat loss and extreme weather are making it harder for these plants to grow.
• By recognizing this month, the resolution encourages people to protect the environment and use plants that are best suited for their local soil and weather conditions.
