Our objective through this extensive research report is to provide the Macalester student with a detailed analysis of what exactly goes on behind-the-scenes in the landscaping of this campus, so that you can enjoy your frolics in the grass with an at-ease conscience. In order to accomplish this we divided ourselves into four main areas of landscaping: 1. Compared to other institutions, Macalester College uses a small amount of landscape chemicals each year. Macalester campus to dispose of the organic wastes created during landscaping.. My method for finding information about composting of landscaping waste was to interview Jerry Nelson. a venue for people to learn about the food system, the politics and power that food carries, and how we as individuals are able to take some of that power back."

As reported in the Fall 2003 landscaping assessment, the department purchased roughly five tons of 18-0-18 fertilizer, roughly one ton of 46-0-0 fertilizer, and roughly fifty to one hundred pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer. While Macalester is not excessive in its use of water it is my suggestion that steps be considered to further decrease the water used for landscape maintenance at Macalester. One such method of reducing water used for landscaping is to convert more of the campus green areas and flower beds to native species plantings. Fuel Use The department spends roughly $2000 each year for fuel to run landscaping machinery. There are examples of campuses throughout the country that have successfully integrated landscaping projects with academic and other departments. It is my suggestion that similar projects be undertaken by incoming classes to increase campus and

The purpose of this Article is to establish landscaping and screening standards that will aid in the separation of incompatible uses from one another, so as to reduce negative impacts of glare, noise, dust, odors, and unsightly views, especially on residential areas, and enhance the visual character of the City and its neighborhoods by providing greenery, landscaping and open space. Lawfully existing sites developed with uses and structures prior to enactment of this Ordinance, where such sites are nonconforming with respect to this Article 10, may continue to be used in such present condition provided there is no decrease in the amount of landscaped area, landscaping, screening, and However, any expansion in gross floor area to uses and structures on such sites shall require the planting of at least one (1) tree under the guidelines of Section 10.6.2 herein, and
WSU CAMPUS ECOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2003

WSU offers over 250 fields of study in 10 colleges, including a nationally-recognized University Honors College, and a large Graduate School. Founded in Pullman in 1890, WSU is the state's land-grant research university enrolling more than 18,000 undergraduate and graduate students at the Pullman campus, with more than 21,000 students statewide, including growing numbers in distance degree programs. Set among the rolling hills of former Palouse Prairie, WSU is one of the largest residential campuses west of the Mississippi, with about half of the student body living on the 620 acre campus situated against the
the Hendricks Park Forest Management Plan. Conservation of this valuable resource is accomplished by protecting the native forest ecosystem where it is intact, and restoring it where it has suffered from degradation. The park's native ecosystem is most susceptible to damage from non-native, invasive plants. Is there anything to be concerned about when removing invasive plants and integrating native species into the landscape? As with cleared areas in the park, the use of mulch on newly cleared landscape is a good way to prevent the invasion of other weed species. By landscaping with native plants, we are able to work within the limits of the natural environment. What role will the plant play in the landscape? Let's take a closer look at some frequent landscaping needs.

utterflies are beautiful insects, and they are also an important part of the ecosystem. In their search for nectar, they spread pollen from one flower Gardening and landscaping can create or enhance habitats for butterflies so they may survive and thrive. When developing a landscape for butterflies, first consider butterfly species present in your area and their preferred habitats. Assess what your landscape already provides, and add to that. LANDSCAPING FOR BUTTERFLIES IN MAINE, BULLETIN #7151 Then add the particular nectar plants to your landscape. Window boxes, hanging baskets and other containers allow you to attract butterflies to patios, porches and other highly visible parts of your landscape.

XERISCAPE MYTH BUSTING:
It typically costs far less both to build, and to maintain than "traditional" landscapes . It is simply all good news However, many myths and misconceptions discourage people from reaping the rewards of this wonderful waterwise way to landscape. The original meaning of the word xeriscape was simply waterwise, or water-efficient landscaping. Even though dry-only landscaping can be spectacularly colorful and even lush, limited areas of highly watered landscape are completely consistent with wise water use, if the return justifies it -- for example, heavily irrigated athletic field turf. Some lawn can be consistent with the concept of overall waterwise landscaping Although there is a vast array of wonderful native plants for any region, introduced plants that are well-adapted, and not invasive, are an important addition to native flora for waterwise landscapes.
II PURPOSE
K. Develop a detailed planting, water harvesting and irrigation plan for plant material selection and placement, screening, water requirements, and other design elements as required by Sec. 3.7.0 of the LUC and this Development Standard which supports the intended use of the project site and landscaped areas. An irrigation plan is required with the landscape plan when applying for permits. Planting selection for landscaping within detention/retention basins and water harvesting basins should comprise plants that can tolerate periodic inundation and not impede maintenance. The required landscaping may be located within the right-of-way only if there are no utilities within the same area, the required landscaping area is extended only to the back of sidewalk, and the City Engineer's Office approves such use in the right-of-way. Landscaping regulations require final
Landscaping and Native Species Reintroduction
BACKGROUND Richard Strain is removing invasive species, reintroducing native plant species of the Albany pine bush and conducting educational outreach among campus and the community's members about the importance of native species. He is conducting his efforts at the State University of New York at Albany. SUNY Albany is part of 64 universities, colleges, vocational schools, and community colleges that make up New York's public education system. Twenty thousand students attend the university, and 6,000 of these students are seeking a graduate degree. The school is also home to 10,000 faculty and staff members who teach diverse majors such as business administration, biology, nanotechnology, and political science. The university is privileged to have access to the state's governmental processes, with Albany being the capital of the state. Meanwhile, the university

Using gardening and landscaping practices that harmonize with nature, they are diversifying their plantings, improving wildlife habitat, and reducing lawnmower noise, air and water pollution, and yard waste. Many natural landscape pioneers have discovered, however, that their neighbors sometimes view alternatives to the mowed lawn as untidy, a threat to property values, and even a health hazard. Worse, their township or borough may have a strict "weed law" that challenges their landscaping practices. In this fact sheet, we provide strategies for the natural landscape homeowner who is looking for neighborly ways to garden for nature. Because a benefit of natural landscaping is that it attracts and provides habitat for wildlife, the landscape may also harbor the ticks associated with that wildlife.

The purpose of this Chapter is to promote community health, safety and welfare by protecting natural vegetation, and setting development standards for landscaping, street trees, fences and walls. Walls, fences, trees and other landscape materials provide vital screening and buffering between land uses. Landscaped areas help to control surface water drainage by capturing rainwater within their canopies and can improve air and water quality. Landscape Conservation prevents the indiscriminate removal of significant trees and other vegetation, including vegetation associated with streams, wetlands and other protected natural resource areas. The purpose of this Section is to incorporate significant native vegetation into the landscapes of development. Ground-level areas for passive use, such as patios, decks, plazas, paved dining areas, etc. may cover up to 15% percent of
