Our Steps Towards Sustainability

  • We practice Integrated Pest Management or IPM
  • We use native, zone hardy site-specific plants
  • We map our campus pollinator-friendly gardens to showcase their locations
  • We limit irrigation to athletic fields and the UVM Historic Green only
  • We collaborate with campus partners on stormwater management
  • We reduce our plastic waste by returning flowerpots to our grower/supplier for reuse
