Total campus area:
Figures required to calculate the total area of managed grounds:
| Area (double-counting is not allowed) | |
| Area managed organically, without the use of inorganic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, fungicides and herbicides | 170.80 Acres |
| Area managed in accordance with an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that uses selected chemicals only when needed | 0 Acres |
| Area managed using conventional, chemical-based landscape management practices | 0 Acres |
| Total area of managed grounds | 170.80 Acres |
If the total area of managed grounds is less than the total campus area, provide:
The total campus includes the building footprints, the actual building footprints are not managed by Grounds.
Organic program
If reporting an organic program, provide:
Planting native plants and non-natives adapted to the northwest. Planting design that incorporates layering to promote optimal plant growth and weed suppression. Watering schedule of longer duration and less frequency to promote deeper root growth and better plant health. Manual removal of weeds in beds frequently to reduce spread of weeds and seed dispersal. Cultural practices such as tilling weedy areas, leaving a mulch/leaf layer to bed areas to create both compost for plant nutrients and cover for weed suppression, using mulch mowers to add nitrogen and other nutrients to the lawn areas and burning of weeds on hard surfaces. Chemical use is a last resort to help control noxious weed outbreaks.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program
If reporting an IPM program, provide:
A brief description of the IPM program:
Integrated Pest Management, also known as IPM, is a process for achieving long-term, environmentally sound pest suppression through a wide variety of tactics. Control strategies in an IPM program include structural and procedural improvements to reduce the food, water, shelter, and access used by pests. Since IPM focuses on remediation of the fundamental reasons why pests are here, pesticides are rarely or almost never used and only when no other option if feasible necessary. The last application of pesticides on LCC campus was 6 years ago and it was minimal.
