SRES 157 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution designating April 2025 as "National Native Plant Month".

SRES 157 designates April 2025 as "National Native Plant Month" to recognize the environmental and ecological benefits of native plants. The resolution highlights that native plants - indigenous species adapted to specific regions - support biodiversity, improve air and water quality, stabilize soils, and provide essential food and habitat for wildlife like birds and pollinators. As a non-binding Senate resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise public awareness about conserving native plant species, which face threats from habitat loss and invasive species.
