Supporting the designation of April 2026 as "National Native Plant Month".

National Native Plant Month would be designated for April 2026 by this resolution, which recognizes the environmental and economic benefits of native plants. The text notes the United States has more than 17,000 native plant species and that native plants clean air, filter water, stabilize soils, and provide nectar, pollen, seeds, and shelter for birds, bees, butterflies, caterpillars, and other wildlife. It also highlights that habitat loss, extreme weather, and invasive species have driven declines, with more than 200 native plant species lost since the early 19th century.
