This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating April 2025 as "National Native Plant Month" . It highlights that native plants are indigenous species crucial for healthy, diverse, and sustainable ecosystems, having evolved alongside native wildlife and adapted to specific regional conditions. The resolution emphasizes that native plants are essential for cleaning air, filtering water, stabilizing soils, and providing shelter and food for native wildlife like butterflies, birds, and bees. It also notes the significant loss of native plant species due to habitat degradation and other environmental factors, underscoring their importance as components of resilient ecosystems and natural heritage. Therefore, the House recognizes the substantial benefits native plants offer to both the environment and the economy of the United States.
