I am writing to ask that you stand up for North Carolina wildlife and habitat through the Native Plants Act. I believe that native plants are an important part of our state's natural heritage and history, and that the overuse of invasive plants throughout the state continues to harm our natural ecosystems and cultural identity. I view the Native Plants Act as a positive step in the right direction toward balancing native landscapes and celebrating the vibrancy and diversity of North Carolina's native plant life. The passage of this bill will prove to be a positive for wildlife, habitat, and people, alike. Thank you for your continued service to the state of North Carolina,

Invasive plant species pose one of the greatest threats to our state’s native plant and wildlife species. I believe that the Native Plants Act addresses that threat head on, and I strongly stand in support of this bill. I ask that you consider doing the same. Not only will this bill stand up for the voiceless native plants and wildlife in our state, but it will also address the significant toll that invasive plant species play on North Carolina’s economy and infrastructure. Please stand in support of this bill, alongside myself and many other like-minded North Carolinians. There is no time to lose. Thank you for your service to our state.

The introduction of invasive species has proven to be destructive not only to our state’s ecosystem, but also for our economy and infrastructure. Though it is impossible to take this history back, we might be able to stop further destruction. I believe that the Native Plants Act will prove to address much of the historic damage caused by invasive plants, and will bolster our state’s natural identity and culture. Please consider supporting this act for the betterment of the wildlife, habitat, and people in North Carolina. Thank you for your consideration and ongoing service to the state of North Carolina.

As a North Carolinian, I have seen the negative impact of invasive plants on the state’s natural landscape and wildlife, and I see the Native Plants Act as a sign that it is time for change. Wildlife in North Carolina deserves better than the mass influx of invasive plant species that we have introduced - and continue to introduce. I believe that this bill will not only change future environmental action in North Carolina, but it will also help reduce the ongoing effects of our past mistakes. Please consider standing alongside the native plants and wildlife in our state, for their good and for the good of all who are privileged enough to enjoy them. I appreciate your time and support, and hope that you will join in this cause with me.

The flourishing of our native ecosystems in North Carolina is very important to me. Without the healthy functioning of these ecosystems, I believe we stand a chance of losing a critical part of our natural heritage, identity, and culture. The Native Plants Act is crucial to ensure that this does not happen. Along with other like- minded North Carolinians, I ask that you stand in support of this bill and all that it represents for the state of North Carolina. I believe that this bill is critical for the future of our natural spaces, and for those who get to enjoy them. Thank you for your time and consideration.
