A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
Saint Louis University has a social obligation to preserve and conserve our valuable natural landscape resources. We believe a beautiful campus environment assists in the overall experience for our students, faculty, and staff. This keen awareness of our impact on the campus community helps define our sustainability practices. Consequently, the Grounds Department emphasizes native plant installation on all new construction projects. This practice was implemented on July 1, 2010. The target goal for native plant material on each new project is 50%.
