Campus Ground and Land Use
Many Universities have large campuses that encompass numerous acres and ecosystems. The concepts of sustainable development should be incorporated into campus designs to preserve these diverse ecosystems.
- Redefine campus beauty
- Reduce lawn areas to reduce maintenance and grass cutting
- Promote "natural succession" for extraneous lawn areas
- Protect woodland, wetland, watershed, and wildlife areas
- Implement a tree protection policy
- Plant native species that do not require irrigation and chemical fertilizers
- Create an area to compost organic waste
- Natural Walkways Evolve
