Why native plants?
According to the The National Audubon Society:
Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

Thank you for such a great response! You've given me a ton of helpful information.
I'll have to scout out some scatter sites. I don't have a yard of my own. I have room for some pots outside, but I thought I could scatter some by park trails or the train tracks going through the woods.
It seems everything you recommend is easy to get online, from tiny packs to 25 pound pails! I'll have to get some and try my luck this fall.
Thank you so much!
I'm not engaged in "guerrilla gardening" myself, but generally it's recommended to scatter seeds in empty/underutilized lots, along highways, etc rather than parks, trails, and other spaces that are either maintained/monitored or are already wild. So maybe look for somewhere like these:
Good luck!
