[From the U.S. Government Publishing Office]
[S. Res. 157 Agreed to Senate
(ATS) ]
<DOC>
119th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 157
Designating April 2025 as ``National Native Plant Month''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 5 (legislative day, April 4), 2025
Mrs. Hyde-Smith (for herself, Ms. Hirono, Mr. Booker, Mr. Cotton, Mr.
Heinrich, Mr. Wyden, and Mr. Husted) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating April 2025 as ``National Native Plant Month''.
Whereas native plants are indigenous species that have evolved alongside native
wildlife and occur naturally in a particular geographic region,
ecosystem, and habitat;
Whereas there are more than 17,000 native plant species in the United States,
which include large shade trees, understory trees, shrubs, perennials,
vines, grasses, and wildflowers;
Whereas native plants are essential for healthy, diverse, and sustainable
ecosystems and are critical for cleaning air, filtering water, and
stabilizing soils;
Whereas native plants are well-adapted to specific soils, temperatures,
precipitation, and environmental conditions, making them the best option
for conserving and protecting the environment and adapting to
environmental changes;
Whereas native plants provide shelter as well as nectar, pollen, seeds, and
foliage that serve as food for native butterflies, caterpillars, birds,
bees, and other wildlife in ways that non-native plants cannot;
Whereas more than 200 of the native plant species in the United States are
estimated to have been lost since the early 19th century;
Whereas habitat loss and degradation, extreme weather events, and invasive
species have contributed to the decline of native plants in the United
States; and
Whereas native plants are essential components of resilient ecosystems and the
natural heritage of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates April 2025 as ``National Native Plant
Month''; and
(2) recognizes the benefits of native plants to the
environment and economy of the United States.
