Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania sits in the Appalachian and Northeastern forest region, which means it has a rich mix of woodland, meadow, and wetland natives that support pollinators, birds, and healthy soils. The “most beneficial” natives are usually those that provide high ecological value—nectar, host plants for butterflies/moths, food for birds, erosion control, and habitat structure.
