A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
The College maintains ownership in two pieces of land in particular that serve as wildlife habitat, though the entire campus serves as habitat to a wide variety of flora and fauna. The Robert J. Bernard Biological Field Station (BFS) is an academic resource of the Claremont University Consortium (CUC), which includes Pomona, and spans 86 acres of CUC property. BFS contains Riversidian alluvial fan scrub, live oak forest, and grassland habitat as well as an artificial lake with surrounding riparian woodland and several created vernal pools. It is home to bobcats, coyotes, great blue herons, 28 mammal species, more than 170 bird species, 17 reptile and amphibian species, and hundreds of invertebrates and plant species. The campus itself also includes a dedicated natural preserve known as "The Wash," a 40-acre parcel of preserved native Oak habitat.
