College Native Landscaping

Kate Grayson and Sadie Magnifico worked with students at Fort Lewis College to fill in a landscape on campus with indigenous shrubs and perennials. These plants support wildlife, including critical pollinator insects.

The money came from a grant from Colorado Chapter Sierra Club. We are grateful to these growers and suppliers for providing high quality, acclimated native plants.
