This resolution urges UC Berkeley to invest in better maintenance for native plants behind Alumni House, an area known as "The Shade," where 80% of plants are currently dead or neglected. It directs the removal of dead shrubs and weeds to mitigate fire risk, mowing of grassy areas, and the installation of benches or tables to create a habitable student space for studying, picnicking, or relaxation. The ASUC Office of the President is tasked with continuing efforts towards the rehabilitation of "The Shade."
