A brief description of the program or practice:
Although UNH is located in area that receives ample precipitation throughout the year, the Landscape Master Plan recognizes the importance of drought-resistant plants. For all recommended native tree, shrub, and vine species, the Landscape Master Plan identifies the moisture requirements of each plant species. Moreover, the Plan emphasizes that native plants are better adapted to local climate and soil conditions.
UNH typically does not install irrigation as part of building projects. Integrated Pest Management policies, including limited irrigation only where necessary, are followed.
