Sponsored By: Senator Hyde-Smith, Cindy [R-MS]

Passed Senate

Summary

Designates April 2025 as National Native Plant Month to highlight the role of native plants in sustaining ecosystems and supporting the economy. The resolution notes there are more than 17,000 native plant species in the United States and that over 200 species have been lost since the early 19th century. It recognizes that native plants are adapted to local soils and climates, help clean air, filter water, stabilize soils, and provide food and shelter for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. The text cites habitat loss, extreme weather, and invasive species as key drivers of native-plant decline.
