National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology Program is currently working on a new publication tentatively titled: *CAMPUS HABITATS AND CLIMATE CHANGE.* This example-filled guide will give a broad look at how campus landscapes are being managed and restored for wildlife habitat, ecological reserves and refuges, carbon sequestration and energy conservation.
We are currently seeking input on how to make this resource truly useful for universities and colleges that are participating, leading, or developing land programs on campus. And because the guide will feature dozens of real-life examples, we are looking for stories of campus projects that have achieved tangible results. Such projects could include land management, restoration, landscaping for sustainability, green-roofs, veggie gardens, and remote property management (such as biological research stations or agricultural areas). We also want stories that show how campuses are engaging their student, faculty, and staff populations as well as the surrounding community. To contribute your story, write a few sentences about the project, mentioning any specific outcomes or quantifiable results (especially cost-savings if possible). Please include a high resolution photograph with your story or video links, if possible. All contributors of ideas, stories and photos will be named and acknowledged in the publication. Send to Alaina Bernard-Kitchings, [email protected] by March 1st. Please type "NWF Campus Habitats" in the subject line and include a contact name and phone number in the email text. Thanks!
