Key Points

The Senate officially named April 2026 as National Native Plant Month to celebrate the 17,000 plant species that naturally grow in the United States.
This action highlights how native plants help the environment by cleaning the air, filtering water, and providing food for local wildlife like birds and bees.
The resolution points out that over 200 native plant species have been lost since the early 1800s because of habitat loss and extreme weather.
This is a ceremonial move that does not change any laws or provide new funding, but it encourages people to protect the country's natural heritage.
