A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
The University has a Forest Committee that is in charge of maintaining over 1,000 acres of forested land, parts of which include rivers and wetlands. Much of the management is focused on the removal of invasive species.
There is also an Arboretum Committee, which maintains numerous species of particular interest in and around campus. The Arboretum Committee has even created a walking campus tour of UConn's trees.
