The indoor plants on the UAA campus are maintained by the Landscape and Grounds team, who follow a watering schedule and treat each plant with proper and unique care.

The different bird feeders on campus are also filled by the Grounds staff, and bring a variety of colorful and native birds closer into view for campus staff and students.
