Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
An graduate urban planning intern within UWM's Office of Sustainability laid the groundwork for UWM to be recognized as a Tree Campus USA program in Fall 2016 and UWM strives to maintain the certification.
Area of managed grounds that is "Managed organically, third party certified and/or protected" only includes Main Campus lawns-23 acres (managed organically and herbicide free), the 11.35-acre Monarch Conservancy at Innovation Campus, and all Field Station Properties (459.7 acres). All Field Station properties were considered “protected,” both those with State Natural Area designation and those without, as they are actively managed and maintained by the Field Station (“effective management“ dedicated to achieving long-term conservation as defined by the credit).
