The Conservation Area Land Management (CALM) plan is an essential component of conservation efforts on campus.

The University of Florida has 31 conservation areas on the main campus spanning over 400 acres. The CALM plan documents the existing conditions of campus conservation areas while supplying added recommendations for future enhancement. The CALM plan also plays a significant role in implementing and updating the Conservation Element of the University’s Campus Master Plan.

The plan draws upon our collective wisdom to develop inclusive solutions and is a testament to the collaborative teamwork displayed by the CALM Update Team.

There are several ways for the UF community to engage with the conservation areas on campus.

Campus Conservation Resources

  • BioGator – A platform that compiled over 1 million records of invasive species on campus and across Florida. The data was gathered through museum collections, community science platforms, and projects by UF faculty and students.
  • CALM Plan Update (Phase 2) – The recommendations in the updated CALM Plan, which is currently being drafted, were guided by the feedback gathered from the steering committee and campus community during Phase 1 of the update process.
  • Lake Alice Watershed Management Plan – Attend a workshop or complete the visioning survey to get involved with the Lake Alice Watershed Management Plan!
