We oversee over 50 acres of prairie, woodland, wetland, and native landscaping beds on campus. Our management goal is to maintain, reconstruct, preserve, and restore natural areas at COD with a special emphasis on prairies. Our educational goal is to teach people about the natural world, its importance, and show them how to be better stewards to the land. We work with students, staff, youth groups, corporate groups, and community members. Be part of our legacy and help protect these areas, like others before you have for the past 50 years.
