A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
The Landscaping department has been using alpine plants (both native and not) incorporated in rock gardens and perennial beds because they tolerate drought and harsh weather conditions. In a majority of landscaping beds, shredded native wood is used as mulch to help keep the soil moist by reducing water evaporation and weed growth. Native Birch and Spruce trees are planted in areas of new construction where applicable. Turf areas are seeded with a mixture of Nugget Bluegrass which is a grass species originating in Hope, Alaska.
