Does the institution prioritize the use of native plant species in landscaping?:
A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
Native plants are used extensively at UGA. The Georgia Piedmont and southeastern US provide a palette of plants that are adapted to the region and contribute to the sense of place at UGA. In addition to prioritizing native plant materials in new plantings, University Architects, PPD Grounds Department and engaged student groups are actively removing exotic invasive plants from the UGA campus.
