A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:

Our campus has four different 'eras' that our grounds crew must consider when planting. Not only do they consider what plants were in Morris when settlers first arrived, they also look over what was here during the three parts of our campus's 100-year history. UMM has a historic master plan that our crew uses to guide their plant choices. They prioritize the use of native, low maintenance plants while striving to maintain the historic feel of our campus.
