A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
The Pomona College Open Space and Landscape Guidelines, approved in May 2010, identify "the use of California native plants and their cultivars whenever appropriate" as a major design issue for sustainability in the College landscape. The College has been systematically increasing the variety and extent of drought-tolerant and native vegetation throughout the campus. The campus also contains a dedicated natural preserve known as "the Wash" with a variety of species of native flora.
