A brief description of the institution’s third party certified land holdings:
The University of Idaho's Moscow Campus has earned Bee Campus certification through the Xerces Society by committing to increasing native plantings in landscaping, providing nesting sites and reducing the use of pesticides.
As a member, we have committed to creating and enhancing native pollinator habitat through our landscaping choices, service-learning and educational opportunities.
The Moscow campus has also recieved recognition for our dedication to fostering community forests and caring for our core campus trees through the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree Campus in Higher Education program.
This program elevates campuses that establish a Tree Care Advisory Committee, draft a Campus Tree Care Plan, and host service-learning opportunities that connect the community with tree and forest stewardship activities.
UI Moscow also hired an Environmental Horticulturist to begin work on earning recognition through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for our Golf Course.
