Stewardship

Land Management

Here at College of Arts and Sciences, we take pride in the conservation lands we steward. We deploy a range of land management techniques to preserve the ecological health and biodiversity of Florida’s unique ecosystems. These techniques include prescribed burns to control woody vegetation and promote the growth of fire-adapted native plants. Other techniques like mechanical removal help us manage invasive species on the property.  

Education and outreach initiatives engage the surrounding community, while wildlife management strategies support the protection and propagation of native species.  
 
Sandhill habitat restoration is a multifaceted undertaking that combines several land management techniques, supported by scientific expertise and community involvement, to ensure the sustained health and biodiversity of these exceptional ecosystems.
