A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
SDSU Grounds Maintenance Department supports two large experimental native plant areas and manages the incorporation of native plants for site appropriate areas across campus. The native plant installations are adjacent to the Business Services Building and along the northwest side of the ENS Building. Both areas recreate native San Diego County north facing slope flora habitats and incorporate coastal live oak, lemonade berry, and laurel sumac to vegetate slopes. The SDSU Grounds department also experiments with a new variety of southwest native plant with every installation constantly trying to enlarge of pallet of regional and habitat appropriate plant materials they use on campus.
