A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
Landscape Services leave trees with holes that could house animals or birds and
along some of the fence lines Landscape Services have allowed the areas to grow native in 5 year increments. The 5 Rain Gardens on campus are our best examples of wildlife habitats. Landscape Services also practice the use of dormant oil during the early Spring to suffocate insect eggs, also use Spinosad or BT which are biological insect controls and Integrated Pest Management Techniques. They also use pest free plants to prevent the use of insecticides.
