Happy Pennsylvania!

PA is home to diverse native plants, trees, insects, fish, birds, and mammals that originated thousands of years ago and thrive in mutual dependence. This native ecosystem provides us with natural resources that benefit our lives by enabling agricultural food production, recreation, fisheries, timber, and more.

By planting native species in our gardens and yards, we create vital food and shelter for native wildlife and pollinators critical to our food supply.
