A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
North Seattle Community College is aware of native and adaptive plants pest resistance and compatibility with the underlying natural climate that supports the campus. In light of that awareness, the College is committed to utilizing native and adaptive plants in our landscaping. Native plants are included in new landscaping projects on campus, favored for their hardiness, beauty, and contribution to our wildlife habitat. We plant to wean the campus from the need to do supplemental watering of beds and lawns, except in the case of establishing new plantings of shrubs and ground covers through their first summer and trees and large shrub/trees through their 3rd summer.
