A brief description of the program or practice:
Our grounds crew always prioritizes the use of drought tolerant plants. Some examples include, a large area of native grasses near our Science building, plantings of black-eyed susan, Russian sage, and trees that are suited to this area. Whenever designing a new landscape area, our grounds crew carefully considers the precipitation we receive annually, the soil type, amount of sunlight, and how much traffic the area will receive. This information always guides the plants they choose.
