Lush with lakes, wetlands and forests, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø's system -- which spans northeast Ohio -- is rich in natural resources.
The center's mission is to responsibly steward these lands for multiple reasons:
- to protect the biodiversity inherent to the space.
- to allow current and future KSU students and faculty access to these sites.
- to serve as a platform for conducting field research.
- to preserve the numerous sites which function as economic, ecological, and cultural assets to ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.
