A brief description of institution owned and/or managed land that is currently third party certified under one or more of the programs listed above, including the year each certification was achieved and/or renewed:
North Seattle College maintains a Certificate of Achievement from National Wildlife Federation through its Certified Wildlife Habitat Program, account #A0116275 (formerly 94291 &/or 25596). We were awarded this certificate for establishment and maintenance of a Certified Wildlife Habitat due to the ground crews' “conscientious planning, landscaping, and gardening, wildlife may find quality habitat-food, water, cover, and places to raise their young." The Environmental Science Department continues to integrate habitat issues as learning outcomes and uses the backdrop of NSC's wetlands as a living laboratory.
