Does the institution prioritize the use of native plant species in landscaping?:
A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
LMU does implement the use of native plant species in the landscaping of the campus. This program concentrates on plant selection, planning, and maintenance of gardens and landscapes that primarily will optimize the use of native plants. In the plant selection stage, a survey of the landscape and grounds on the university is completed. From this information, the planning stage can take place and landscapers can select the types of plants that are native to the area around the campus. Once these plants have been selected, they are placed in the areas around campus which will best suit the environment and their development. This practice continues as new landscapes become available and as more native plants become the most optimal choice.
