A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:

As part of UNI's efforts to naturalize our campus, over 70 acres of grounds have been converted into natural areas in the last seven years including native prairies. Because prairie is a native ecosystem in Iowa, the plants that make up the flora are well adapted to Iowa’s climate and soils. Native wildlife species are also adapted to the tall grass prairie ecosystem. Many of these prairie species have declined due to the loss of prairie.
