A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:

Landscape Services attempts to use as many native trees, shrubs, and perennials as possible. All submitted landscape plans are reviewed by the landscape services department to insure native plant material is used wherever possible. The native plants selected are the ones best suited for adaptability to the climate, watering needs as well as helping with the IPM program campus-wide. Native plant species account for above 90% of ASU's plant inventory.
