How do our use of native plants impact human health?
Native plants help improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and filtering harmful particles from the environment. Because native plants are adapted to local climates, soil, and moisture conditions, they can efficiently support natural air-cleaning processes.

Lawns often use large amounts of chemical pesticides and fertilizers that can have both short and long term health effects. Native plants don't require chemical fertilizers, and act as a natural pest buffer as they attract a biodiverse group of predators. By promoting usage of these helpful plants, we combat the usage of harmful chemicals.
