The bill, H. 4211, is a concurrent resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that emphasizes the significance of native plants to the state's environment, agriculture, history, and economy. It recognizes the diverse array of over four thousand native plant species in South Carolina, many of which are crucial for supporting local wildlife, including over three hundred bird species. The resolution encourages state agencies, local governments, and private landowners to prioritize the use of native plants in landscaping, erosion control, and vegetation management to enhance biodiversity, promote pollinator viability, and preserve the state's unique flora and fauna.

Additionally, the resolution calls on the Department of Administration to disseminate this message to all relevant state agencies involved in landscaping and grounds maintenance. By advocating for the use of native plants, the bill aims to foster a greater appreciation for South Carolina's natural heritage while also addressing environmental concerns such as water conservation and the impact of invasive species.
