UCLA is the first campus in California to receive a Green Grounds Certification from the environmental nonprofit Re:wild Your Campus.
More than 90% of UCLA’s landscape is managed sustainably and without the use of pesticides.
The campus’s ecologically friendly practices are the result of work and research by UCLA Facilities Management, UCLA Sustainability and other campus programs, as well as the knowledge and recommendations of the Gabrielino-Tongva tribe, the traditional caretakers of the land on which UCLA sits.
