A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
The Tempe campus is a registered Arboretum with an extensive collection of plants. It encourages the use of Native Plants where appropriate. Since there is a limited pallet of native trees to this area, the Tempe campus Arboretum also uses non native plants. Only non native plants and trees are adapted to the heat of our Sonoran desert climate are selected by the Tempe campus Arboretum.
The West campus has an extensive collection of native trees in their arboretum east of the Faculty Administration Building.
The Polytechnic campus is a registered desert arboretum. It maintains native plant species specific to the Sonoran desert including varieties of cacti, succulents, shrubs, herbaceous wild flowers and deciduous drought tolerant trees.
