You see our campus groundskeepers out and about, busily maintaining our fields, lawns, and flower beds. Did you ever wonder who "watches over" the undeveloped sections of Ithaca College property? Well, wonder no longer: the ever-vigilant Ithaca College Natural Lands committee (ICNL) is on the job.
Check out ICNL's new and improved website.
Additional committee members are always welcomed. The meeting schedule is posted on the website. Come join us in helping watch over IC's "green spaces."
IC Natural Lands serves as an advisory body to the vice president for finance and administration for the stewardship of Ithaca College's natural areas.
The primary mission of the IC Natural Lands Committee is to maintain the educational value and ecosystem services of these lands, to support co-curricular activities, and to guide compatible economic and recreational development.
The Ithaca College Natural Lands committee manages 493 acres of land, divided into three parcels:
- South Hill Natural Area
- Bob Robinson Family Preserve (in Newfield)
- Ithaca College Natural Resource Reserve (in Newfield)
