A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
Shifting from mowed lawn around the duck pond to wild meadow provides wildlife habitat and a reliable food source for animals, and can help reduce, or even eliminate storm water runoff and erosion.
Haverford began the move away from mowing five years ago starting in the Pinetum, which is now entirely meadow except for some paths mowed through for the College’s cross-country runners. The Pinetum was also planted with wildflowers on the north end.
