Key Points
- The Senate officially named April 2025 as National Native Plant Month to celebrate the more than 17,000 plant species that grow naturally in the United States.
- This resolution encourages people to learn how native plants help clean our air and water, protect the soil, and provide food and homes for local wildlife like bees and birds.
- It highlights a serious problem: over 200 native plant species have been lost since the 1800s due to things like habitat loss, extreme weather, and invasive plants from other areas.
- While this is a ceremonial move that does not change any laws or provide new funding, it aims to raise awareness about using local plants to keep our environment healthy and resilient.
