Pennsylvania DCNR is Updating the List of Pennsylvania’s Classified Plants

DCNR is updating the list of classified (rare, threatened, endangered) plants in the regulation, Conservation of Pennsylvania Native Wild Plants, Title 17, Chapter 45.  This includes 136 substantive changes including additions, deletions, and reclassifications. This is the third update in recent years and is the largest one.

DCNR has developed outreach material available on their website.  Informal feedback is being sought until August 1, 2026. If you have feedback, please email RA-Ch45WildPlant@pa.gov. DCNR plans to publish the proposed rule-making this fall in the Pa. Bulletin, when an official comment period will be open.
