The resolution recognizes April as Alabama Native Plant Month, highlighting the importance of native plants in the state's diverse ecosystems. Native plants, which have evolved alongside local wildlife, play a crucial role in providing food and shelter for various species, enhancing soil health, and adapting to Alabama's environmental conditions. With over 3,120 native plant species, including trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, these plants are essential for supporting local wildlife, such as birds and pollinators, in ways that non-native plants cannot.

The resolution also emphasizes the need to raise public awareness about the benefits of native plants for the economy and the sustainability of Alabama's ecosystems. It encourages Alabamians to participate in activities such as removing invasive species, planting native flora, and educating others about the significance of native plants. Additionally, it acknowledges the existence of rare native plants that are federally protected, underscoring the importance of conservation efforts in the state.
