Does the institution prioritize the use of native plant species in landscaping?:
A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
In the past few years, priority has been given to using native plants around the grounds. Bagley Nature Area is a key spot area where native plants are a priority and the irradication of non-natives is pursued. Two green roofs on campus are mostly native plant species. The recently opened Civil Engineering building includes no sod around it, and instead uses prairie plants that can tolerate drought.
