A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
The UI Facilities Management landscaping staff uses plant material native to this climate zone whenever feasible. Many acres of campus are located in an urban setting, so native plantings are used where appropriate. Experience has shown that native plantings require less maintenance and support native bird and insect populations. Native plant species are used effectively in campus rain gardens and in areas where low-mow turf is incorporated.
