A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
Wildlife habitat plantings are incorporated on UI property wherever appropriate. The UI campus is primarily urban, which can limit significantly-sized wildlife habitat in some areas. However, areas adjacent to the Iowa River, including ravines and wetlands, and areas at the Oakdale campus are managed for wildlife habitat. Management includes removal of invasive species, protection and encouragement of mast trees and bushes, and re-establishment of native species where possible.
