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 highlights the ecological benefits of native plants, such as their drought tolerance, ability to filter water, and role in promoting biodiversity, while also addressing the challenges posed by invasive species that threaten these native ecosystems.

The resolution encourages state agencies, local governments, and private landowners to prioritize the use of native plants in landscaping, erosion control, and vegetation management. It aims to enhance the viability of both migratory and nonmigratory pollinators and to preserve the unique flora and fauna of South Carolina. Additionally, the Department of Administration is urged to disseminate this resolution to relevant state agencies to ensure awareness and implementation of these recommendations in landscaping and grounds maintenance practices.
