If there is land to be cleared, for whatever reason,
if there are native plants present, it is possible for those plants
to find new homes elsewhere.
Why would this be something worthwhile?
A variety of reasons could justify this as something worthy of our time and effort.
More and more land is being developed to provide homes, offices, and other facilities people need. As we develop more spaces, the area available to native plants and wildlife is shrinking.
To help protect biodiversity and ecosystem services, it is important to try to restore patches of native vegetation wherever possible. If native plants can be "rescued" from areas slated for development, those plants can be re-homed elsewhere to contribute to biodiversity in those areas.
