HB 367 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

SPECIAL DAY/WEEK/MONTH: Recognizes the month of April as Native Plant Month in Louisiana

This bill designates the month of April as Native Plant Month in Louisiana to highlight the importance of the state's diverse native flora. It formally recognizes that Louisiana hosts nearly 2,500 native plant species that support local ecosystems, wildlife, and the economy. The legislation aims to encourage public awareness about the benefits of these plants for pollinators and environmental sustainability. By adding this designation to state law, the bill provides a structured opportunity for education and appreciation of native plants without mandating specific actions.
