A brief description of the organic landscape management program:
Small areas of the campus are considered wetlands or naturalized areas that do not receive any chemical treatment or mowing. Additionally, forested areas do not receive chemical treatment or mowing. These areas are minimally maintained, but are otherwise left alone. These parcels total approximately 40 acres of organic management.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program 

Percentage of grounds managed in accordance with an IPM program:
0

If reporting an IPM program, provide:

A copy of the IPM plan or program:
---

A brief description of the IPM program:
The areas that have an IPM program also receive conventional herbicides and therefore could not be double counted for the IPM section (this is why IPM grounds are 0%)
