A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
1. Although our campus is not required to use native plantings in our landscaped areas, we strive in many of these plantings to use native species.
2. We experienced a devastating windstorm that destroyed an estimated 800 trees in groomed areas of our campus, we also have several hundred acres of natural wooded areas with paths and a large campus lake. Since the fall of 2009 ( first fall after the storm) we have had a volunteer tree planting to restore these areas using only native species, we have planted over 600 new trees to date. We also utilize many native shrubs, grasses, and perennials in newly landscaped and renovated plantings.
