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

For ten years we have been incorporating native species whenever possible in new plantings. Our tree farms are 70% native tree species which will be used to plant new trees on campus. We have an Ash tree replacement farm that is completely native. We are adding shrub beds that are native shrubs that provide feed for wildlife. We are currently replacing many drought killed Yew bushes with bayberry, chokeberry, and viburnum varieties.
