A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
Notre Dame uses a zone planting system where plants specific to our zone are used throughout campus. Notre Dame works to use plants that have suitable hardiness to our zone’s temperature extremes, as determined by the lowest average annual temperature. Native grasses and perennials are used throughout campus plantings as well. Notre Dame also maintains a Sculpture Park on the south end of campus, which features a reconstructed native habitat with indigenous trees, shrubs, and grasses.
