Interpretive Panels

Our Forest Service Regions and our many partners have developed numerous and varied interpretive signs and posters about native plants, plant communities, ethnobotany, pollinators, and more.

Three images of wildflowers: dwarf dogwood, red trillium, and wheel milkweed.

Plant of the Week

Each week we feature a different wildflower found on our national forests and grasslands.

Nine tiled images of various pollinators, a beetle, bat, bee, ants, hummingbird, lemur, butterfly, wasp, and fly.

Pollinator of the Month

Pollinator of the Month will highlight the interdependency of certain species of native North American wildflowers and one of their animal pollinators. Most plants have a flower morphology, color, blooming period, and/or scent that will attract a particular type of pollinator to reap its food rewards of nectar and pollen.
