What do the Landscape Services crews do during the winter?
During the winter, the Landscape Services crews spend the majority of their time on snow removal, ensuring that all campus roads and parking areas are cleared. They also attend to MSU’s tree and shrub life by pruning campus plants and growing new ones in green houses for the spring beds. The golf course staff transplants course trees from February through April — an ideal time when there are no course patrons and the ground is frozen enough to limit dig mess. Additionally, Landscape Services employees devote themselves to special events and conduct employee training during the winter months.
