Biodiversity & Landscaping

HORTICULTURAL PRACTICES  

澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网's horticultural management program includes: the use of organic fertilizers, organic weed killers, organic pest control products, environmentally-friendly snow and ice melt, and propane powered lawn mowers. A large portion of our landscape debris (plant material, tree branches, leaves, etc.) are composted at an offsite-location.

LANDSCAPING  

Since 2008, 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 has planted over 200 new trees on and around campus. This includes the total redevelopment of Pearlstone Park near Mt. Royal Station, and landscaping "Lazarus Plaza" at the I-83 bridge over North Avenue near the intersection of Mt Royal Ave. The school also worked with AMTRAK to improve, landscape, and re-foliate the AMTRACK pit near the Founders Green dormitory. 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 always uses organic fertilizers for its landscaping. 

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 practices integrated pest management on campus, focusing on education, prevention, proper sanitation, the use of monitoring devices, and regular building envelope inspections.
