Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of using native plant species in restoration projects to promote biodiversity and ecosystem health. It also highlights the need for collaboration between federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as non-profit organizations and private landowners, to achieve successful restoration outcomes.
