The Office of the Federal Environmental Executive recently issued final guidance to implement an April 1994 Presidential Executive Memorandum on Federal Landscaping Practices. A copy of the guidance is attached for your information and use.

The guidance applies to all Federal agencies and all Federally funded or assisted projects. It provides information and direction regarding the implementation of environmentally and economically beneficial landscaping practices for Federal agencies and the programs they administer.

In addition to this document, we have attached a paper providing answers to commonly asked questions about the Executive Memorandum and the implementing guidance. If you have further questions, please contact Ms. Bonnie Harper-Lore of my staff at (612) 291-6104. Please share a copy with the Divisions and States within your region since it will be useful in the planning and implementation of landscape projects.
