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

The Grounds department tries to incorporate native plants into the landscape as much as possible. The landscape determines what can be planted and not all native plants will work in the landscape due to plant size, soil conditions, sun/shade conditions, dry, wet areas.

There is no policy in place that requires the use of native plants in the landscape but if native plants can be used in the landscape than they will be incorporated.
