Sustainability
• To keep in existence; maintain
• A method of using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged

Proposal
To develop a complete landscape plan for Morrison Elementary School based on the school’s needs for function, sustainability, and education. Literature research, case studies of other schools, and interactions with contributing sources will contribute to the development of this landscape strategy.

Objectives for Education
•Plant materials will be identified in designated areas
•Outdoor classrooms will be partially enclosed and will provide an ideal “laboratory” setting
•A nature trail will be marked with information signs about wildlife, vegetation, and the environment
![Page 7: Sustainable Landscape Planning for Learning Environments Jennifer Dukes Jeffrey Aiken Matthew Smith Clemson University](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9339a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
•Various garden plots will be provided for each grade
•Plant material will be selected to attract wildlife
•Turf and mulch areas will provide playing/working surfaces

Objectives for Function & Sustainability
•Xeriscape principles and native plants will be used to reduce maintenance
•Trees will be placed and planted with mature root and branch spread considered
![Page 9: Sustainable Landscape Planning for Learning Environments Jennifer Dukes Jeffrey Aiken Matthew Smith Clemson University](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9339a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
•Trees will be selected and placed to facilitate energy efficiency
•Trees will be designated to shade man-made surfaces and reduce “heat island” effect

•Trees and shrubs will be planted according to detail
•Beds will be covered with 3 inches of pine bark mulch
•Irrigation will be used to establish tree and shrubs
