An Act amending Title 68 (Real and Personal Property) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for managed native conservation landscaping.

HB 1878 would amend Pennsylvania's property laws to establish "managed native conservation landscaping" as a recognized standard for outdoor spaces. This provision would directly affect property owners, developers, and local governments that regulate land use and landscaping requirements. The bill would create specific guidelines for using native plants to conserve water, reduce maintenance needs, and support local ecosystems, requiring that such landscaping be properly maintained to achieve these goals. It is currently under review by the House Housing & Community Development committee.
