Does the institution have programs in place to protect and/or create wildlife habitat on institution-owned land?:
A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
Colgate manages about 876 acres of protected forest that is mostly unfragmented and contains intact local ecosystems. Our 2007 Forest and Open Lands Stewardship Plan further designates hundreds of acres as "preservation." We are currently in the process of seeking American Tree Farm Certification for all of our forestland to demonstrate long-term sustainable forest management. Additionally, Taylor Lake -located on the main campus- attracts many different species of birds such as mergansers, ducks, geese, other types of waterfowl, and neotropical migrants.
