The Issue: Pennsylvania has an abundance of state office buildings that are often surrounded by lawns or non-native landscaping, contributing to the decline in pollinators and birds through habitat loss.
The Simple Solution: Add more native plants around state office buildings! PA House Bill 426 prioritizes the use of native plant landscaping around these buildings.
Imagine the numerous state office buildings across Pennsylvania with native landscaping - providing habitat for monarch butterflies, bumblebees, and other pollinators, while also benefiting water quality. Choosing native plants also benefits local small businesses like native plant nurseries.
