Why We Chose This
“Organization”
Fire is a natural process and when talking to individuals
around campus many do not understand its purpose
Conservation lands on campus are more susceptible to disease
and crowding without fire
To learn and educate
ourselves about the
prescribed burns natural
to upland areas
FGCU currently has no
Policy when dealing
with this issue
“Organization” Background
FGCU was founded in 1991
Deeply rooted environmental
history
Conducted

campus in 1997
Now controls fuel
loads via slash and
mulch technique
No existing policy

help
