We’re proud to share with you this comprehensive account of all of the impressive outreach efforts under way throughout the College. In complement with our scientific research, these outreach activities are integral to the mission of the College of the Environment. Our investment in communities, in connecting children and adults with the world around them through a scientific lens, and in empowering policy-makers with the tools and information to make good decisions based on sound science, are a vital part of the vision of the College.
One of our goals is to create a biodiversity database and build layers of information about birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, terrestrial and aquatic insects and plants in a way that when combined gives all of us a picture of the biological health of an area...a neighborhood, city, county, and state.
