The Long Island Native Plant Initiative (LINPI) is a collaborative effort aimed at promoting the use of native plants in landscaping and restoration projects across Long Island, New York. This initiative focuses on educating the public about the ecological benefits of native plants, which support local wildlife and help maintain biodiversity. LINPI also works to increase the availability of native plant species by partnering with local nurseries and organizations. By encouraging the use of native plants, the initiative aims to enhance the region's natural habitats and reduce the reliance on non-native species that can disrupt local ecosystems.
