Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2026, as Native Plant Month in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially designate April 2026 as "Native Plant Month" in New York State, aligning with National Native Plant Month. It highlights the ecological importance of native plants - supporting pollinators, stabilizing soil, and adapting to local conditions - without creating new laws or regulations. The resolution encourages public actions like planting native species and removing invasive plants to protect New York's biodiversity. As a non-binding memorial, it directly affects state recognition efforts and public awareness, not legal obligations.
