Bill > S2182

This bill amends Chapter 6 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new section that requires the governor to issue an annual proclamation designating May as Native Plant Month. The purpose of this proclamation is to raise public awareness about native plant species and to encourage community groups, schools, and citizens to participate in activities that support the conservation, restoration, and appreciation of plant species that are indigenous to Massachusetts. By creating this official recognition, the bill aims to highlight the importance of native plants and promote environmental stewardship at the local level.
