A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
Michigan State University is endowed with a diversity of woodlands and wetlands located on the campus properties. These invaluable natural resources include more than 700 acres in 27 distinct sites. They provide important examples for our rich natural heritage and represent significant, accessible resources for teaching, research, demonstration and nature appreciation.
In no case shall endangered, threatened or special concern species be taken, nor shall any species be taken without proper, current, State and Federal permits, as required by law. Use of firearms on campus is prohibited. Pedestrian travel shall be the only allowable mode of transport in any campus natural area. Applications for scientific collecting, class use and other activities with potential for environmental impact in Natural Areas shall be reviewed on a case by case basis by the CNAC, or its designee. Any research or instructional materials left on a site that are related to unauthorized activities will be removed without notice.
None
