Does the institution prioritize the use of native plant species in landscaping?:
A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
Université Laval takes special care of the native plants in its woods, which cover 17% of campus (31 hectares, or 3.3 million square feet). For example, trails divert walkers around native plants, which include red trilliums, erythroniums, a variety of fern species, shadbushes, Canadian yews, choke cherries, and more.
Many of the native trees in our woods are mature. Species include sugar maple, red maple, white ash, red oak, American elm (some over 100 years old), cedar, and pine.
Our landscaping also features climate-resistant native plants.
