Program Impacts
- In 2002, team members planted native grass mix which provides shelter and a diverse food source for native wildlife. The native grass mix reduces mowing frequency conserving labor, fuel, and mechanical risk. Employees informally monitor the grassland weekly using visual observations and photographs during site visits to the habitat.
