The UMC campus is located near where the prairie meets the forest in North America. This allows for an exposure of students to several ecosystem types, river and lake systems, and agricultural land uses. Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge, the largest prairie and wetland project in the nation, lies only 10 miles to the east of campus.
The 85-acre Red River Valley Natural History Area (containing prairie, marshes, and forests) is located within walking distance of campus and is used extensively for field trips, application of conservation techniques, and nature observation.
In the courtyard just outside the classroom buildings, is the Nature Nook, a student-driven environmental landscaping project featuring restored prairie, butterfly garden, waterfall and pond, Boreal forest bog garden, deciduous forest, and oak savanna.
Students benefit from research experiences with UMC (need a hot link here showing students with UMC faculty in UROP experiences) and Northwest Research and Outreach Center (NWROC) faculty as well as faculty from the University of Minnesota System, other universities, and agency researchers.
