A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
A large portion of the university's acreage has been preserved as forest. Only the first few feet around the perimeter of these wooded areas is trimmed and pruned for safety and aesthetics.
With the completion of the university's first LEED-certified building, the Diane Dailey Golf Learning Center, Landscaping Services ensured that some areas of the surrounding gardens were retained as wild habitat and planted with native plants. In 2008, the university converted a large mowed lawn in front of the Reynolda House Museum of American Art into a natural meadow in order to restore wildlife habitat. The Meditation Garden and Bioretention pond, installed in 2009 in the woods off Faculty Drive, have also provided new habitat for a productive duck population.
