About the Program
Waste Management’s Guadalupe Recycling & Disposal Facility is located in San Jose, California. A mixture of grassland, oak woodland and chaparral habitat are located on the 411-acre facility. The team actively monitors and manages landscape habitat and invasive species projects. Monitoring data is collected on plant bloom time, survival rate to ensure there are plants to provide nectar and food to wildlife year-round. The team also participates in non-native pig management and monitoring of a bug hotel.

Practices and Impacts
- To support their goal of providing native nectar sources to pollinators, the team has at least one species of native plant blooming in 10 out of the 12 months of the year. The team uses adaptive management from data collected to protect their plants from browsing by deer.
