What has been done in 2017?

Technological:
7.5	New grounds contactors Turfworks are strict on using environmentally supporting and enhancing fertilisers, pesticides and insecticides. All compostable waste on campus is composted by Turfworks up at their UCT facility and then brought back to Bishops campus to be used in flowerbeds and on grounds. Certified organic chemicals are used sparingly.
Behavioural:
7.6	Plantings now done on campus are all indigenous and water-wise. Turfworks have a thorough knowledge on local indigenous planting palettes.
7.7	Where possible pesticide control is non-chemical and so other strategies are used such as complementary planting and biological control methods.
