Does the institution use xeriscape landscaping techniques, including the selection of drought tolerant plants?:
A brief description of the program or practice:
Xeriscaping is a water-sensible approach to landscaping derived by the Greek word for dry (xeros). LMU subscribes to this "landscape ethic" by using drought-resistant plants for much of the campus landscaping. Such plants are acclimated to the Southern California climate and require little or no irrigation.
