Figures required to calculate the total area of managed grounds:
| Area (double-counting is not allowed) | |
| Area managed organically, without the use of inorganic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, fungicides and herbicides | 189 Acres |
| Area managed in accordance with an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that uses selected chemicals only when needed | 0 Acres |
| Area managed using conventional, chemical-based landscape management practices | 87 Acres |
| Total area of managed grounds | 276 Acres |
If the total area of managed grounds is less than the total campus area, provide:
The College has not calculated the footprints of buildings or the College's artificial turf sports stadium, so the total area of managed grounds is slightly over-stated.
Organic program
68.48
If reporting an organic program, provide:
The portion of the campus that is managed organically is kept as an ecological preserve and is subject to a conservation easement that limits the use of the property. The College employs a Preserve Keeper who works with student interns to maintain the property through natural means. This team works to remove non-native, invasive species while ensuring that trails and water features are free of debris. No chemicals can be used on this land.
