Native Plants for Earth Day

Native plants are essential to the ecosystem as pollinators including bees, butterflies, and birds use these plants for food and shelter. Essential for the production of the food we consume on a daily basis, pollinators facilitate crop production and plant reproduction. Many native plants are incredibly easy to grow with a multitude of varieties returning year after year.

Below, we listed one example of a native plant for each of the 26 states where we manage properties – but there are hundreds of native plants that you can plant and support in your area that will make a difference in our environment.
