的 SMC自然区 constitutes 340 acres of college-owned land. As evidenced by historic aerial photography, 这片银枫鸵鸟蕨漫滩森林已经被种植了60多年. Restoration efforts began in the fall of 2017; the following year, 学院与自然资源保护局(NRCS)合作，在土地上建立了农业保护地役权，以支持教育, 研究, 休闲, and athletic missions of the college.
的 自然区域 has become the main living laboratory for restoration efforts on campus. Trees and cuttings from local nurseries such as Horsford Gardens and Nursery, Intervale保育苗圃, 伯灵顿分公司, 甚至我们自己的SMC苗圃也被移植到自然区域，以帮助恢复生物多样性和人口平衡. 与NRCS的进一步合作导致了对自然区较低地区历史湿地洼地的部分重建，以增加生态系统的蓄水能力, ultimately protecting the college and those downstream from worsened flooding.

SMC农场的永久场地, behind Pomerleau 校友 Center and the Observatory, 采用永续农业原则设计，并采用农业生态原则进行管理，力求成为当今农业最佳实践的典范. 这片土地在20世纪80年代曾被用来在饥饿花园种植食物，也曾作为苗圃，种植了许多你今天在校园里看到的树木. 现在, it is home to four low-till vegetable plots, two hoop houses that create 2500 square feet of covered growing space to extend the season, 有可食用树篱的果园, 以及专门的授粉空间.
No pesticides or herbicides are used on the 农场; instead, the presence of bird- and insect-friendly plants increases predation of common pests. 作物每年轮作，其中一块田地总是“休息”，以使土壤保持足够的营养水平，以维持未来几年的生长. Ecological restoration is an active process on the 农场, as classes and volunteers learn while visiting and working in the space.

的 传粉者的花园 are vibrant with native 花 such as Yarrow, 香蜂, 紫松果菊, 乔pye-weed, 马利筋, 整个春天还会有更多, 夏天, 和秋天. 在冬天, 我们把死去的茎捆起来，而不是砍倒它们，这样昆虫和传粉者就可以在早春越冬并找到食物.
苗圃是 种植于2019年秋季, as one of the programs initiated to launch 环境研究所 that year. 环境研究所, 绿色了, 和环境研究项目共同努力，改造了阿利奥学生中心之间一个交通繁忙的中心空间, 乔伊斯大厅, 迪翁学生中心 from monoculture lawn into a native tree nursery. 原生树木, 比如山茱萸和黑柳, 在这个空间中生长，直到它们足够成熟，可以被切割并绑成束状或移植到SMC自然区.

教学花园, 苗圃, 传粉者花园, 我们的禁入区遍布校园，是校园为传粉昆虫的栖息地和食物留出和管理的户外空间. 该中心与地面工作人员密切合作，以多种方式帮助管理学院的景观. 其中一种方法很简单:提高割草机的叶片，这样草就会稍微长一点，为昆虫和传粉者提供更多的栖息地. Another way is even simpler: Don’t mow at all! 在校园, 有指定的“禁入”区域，让生态系统随着时间的推移自然再生. Not only does this improve ecosystem health, 这意味着更少的燃料, time, and effort is spent mowing down beneficial plants.
有兴趣参与? Volunteer with 绿色了 club to help clean up the gardens, or take ES-332: 艺术 & 生态 to learn about and maintain our campus bee houses!
