Our project is on a previously developed urban site that was covered with buildings and asphalt or concrete pavement such that it was 100% impervious. The new development restores over 50% of the remaining open space, after the building has been built, to landscape. The landscape consists of trees, shrubs and grass. We would like to better understand what is meant by adapted vegetation. We believe that we are meeting the intent of the credit by providing habitat and promoting biodiversity in an area that had none; however we are not sure how important it is to plant native or adapted vegetation to get the credit and we are not sure what would be construed as adapted vegetation.
