A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
Penn manages its landscape with myriad sustainable landscape practices. In the winter, salt is not used on campus to de-ice pathways and sidewalks, as it is caustic to the landscape and can sterilize soil. Instead, Penn uses a salt solution, Magic Salt, which is treated to neutralize the caustic elements of salt and is therefore better for soil health.
