Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center’
‘National Wildflower Week aims not only to highlight wildflowers’ beauty, but also to encourage citizens to understand their value and take steps to protect them. Wildflowers and native plants help conserve water, reduce mowing costs, provide habitat for birds, butterflies and other wildlife and protect the soil from erosion. In addition, native plants often require less resources to maintain than plants that aren’t native to a region.

But many wildflowers across the U.S. are in danger from habitat loss, non-native plants that grow aggressively and compete for resources (called invasive plants) and other factors.

Endangered Species Day is an opportunity for people young and old to learn about the importance of protecting endangered species and everyday actions that people can take to help protect our nation’s disappearing wildlife and last remaining open space. Protecting America’s wildlife and plants today is a legacy we leave to our children and grandchildren, so that all Americans can experience the rich variety of native species that help to define our nation.

Endangered Species Day is held the third Friday in May. Every year, thousands of people throughout the country celebrate at parks, wildlife refuges, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, libraries, schools and community centers. You can participate in festivals, field trips, park tours, community clean-ups, film showings, classroom presentations, and other fun and educational activities.
