Does the institution prioritize the use of native plant species in landscaping?:
A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
UBC's landscaping practices prioritize a combination of native and adapted plants which are best suited to a long wet season and short dry season.
The new Vancouver Campus Plan specifies using more native and edible plants as well as low maintenance and pesticide-free practices which will reduce water and chemical use and increase the biodiversity on campus. Interpretive education programs will facilitate teaching and learning about these landscaping practices.
