A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
FIU strives to use native plants whenever possible. Using native plants help conserve water and also generally require less maintenance and minimize the need for fertilizers and pesticides.
FIU has made major strides in recent years to incorporate more native plants into the landscaping throughout all of its campuses. With functional and attractive features like bioswales, native littoral zones, butterfly gardens, and mangrove areas, FIU is providing much needed food, shelter, and breeding habitat for wildlife.
