Natural Lands of Ithaca College
Ithaca College owns nearly 500 acres of natural lands. Much of this forms the South Hill Natural Area adjacent to the college campus in Ithaca, New York. In addition, in neighboring Newfield we have the Bob Robinson Family Preserve and the Ithaca College Natural Resource Reserve. These natural lands are managed under the guidance of the Ithaca College Natural Lands Committee (ICNL).

Ithaca College is featured for two initiatives, the Ithaca College Natural Lands (ICNL) Stewards program and the Dining Services Energy Conservation Program.
- In January 2009, Ithaca Dining Services unveiled a plan to reduce kitchen energy bills by 30% and reduce its carbon footprint by 26%. Since that date, students, Sodexo professionals, and staff from Ithaca College have worked together to complete energy recommendations given in the first report.
- National Wildlife Federation’s (NWF) Campus Ecology 2010 campus sustainability case studies, the only database of its kind, is available online now at www.CampusEcology.org. Close to 100 case studies were added for 2010, highlighting campus climate and sustainability efforts ranging from recycling and energy efficiency to alternative transportation systems and green jobs training programs.
