A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
At FSU, we desire to utilize as many native plant species as we can and where they're appropriate (considering their aesthetic qualities, suitability to light exposure, soil conditions, ultimate height, educational merit, etc). Some examples of plantings that are primarily native include the landscaping around the Student Success Building and the Life Sciences cage wash roof top. We have been substituting turfgrass with native perennials in parking lot medians and roads at Mendenhall A, Varsity Way, and Varsity Drive. This is in compliance with Policy 1C-2 of our Campus Master Plan.
