Cornell University, NY Stormwater Management Wetland Demonstration Project

Type: Program
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://sustainablecampus.cornell.edu/nature/wetlanddemo.cfm
Description:
The Stormwater Management Wetland Demonstration Project is a joint project of the Environmental Complilance and Sustainability Office (ECO), the Civil Engineering Section in Planning, Design and Construction and the Department of Natural Resources of Cornell University. The primary goals of this project are to protect Cascadilla Creek from uncontaminated sediment from soil erosion in stormwater runoff through natural gravity settling and to reduce the peak runoff of stormwater during storm events.
The pond was constructed as part of a regrading and revegetation project to help prevent erosion on the side slopes of a former refuse dump.
The pond was created by enlarging a swampy area in the vicinity of the site, thus enhancing a previously existing wetland environment. The pond treats drainage from a large area upstream developed with roads, parking lots, warehouses, and facility support building
To ensure continuing environmental integrity, ECOS monitors activity at the site and coordinates periodic maintenance activities.
Beneficial Impacts of the Project:
* Sediment loading in stormwater runoff is reduced before entering Cascadilla Creek, mitigating water quality problems that could result from land development in the orchards area.
* The natural wetland environment at the site was enhanced, and is being studied and maintained.
* The location of the site- near a walking trail- allows it to serve as an educational resource for the Department of Natural Resources and the general public.

Cornell University, NY Wetlands Creation

Type: Policy
Status: Ongoing
Source File: http://sustainablecampus.cornell.edu/nature/wetlands.cfm
Description:
Over three acres of wetland were created to mitigate for wetlands disturbed during the construction of the new Laboratory of Ornithology. Regulators prefer replacement-in-kind which would have meant wooded wetlands, however personnel at the Lab decided that they did not want simply more of the same habitat. They wanted to establish new habitat types to increase the diversity of wildlife that would be attracted. Fill was removed from an area where material had been side-cast when Brown Road Extension was built many years ago. A wetland-island mosaic was established there with large snags placed for raptor perches. The old square goose farm pond was redesigned to better fit into the aesthetics and to provide a more valued habitat. A boardwalk that is extended from sanctuary trails now provides an overlook to the wetland area.
Thousands of plants and hundreds of trees indigenous to the region were planted and measures have been taken to protect them from deer herbivory. Special efforts and expenses were undertaken to ensure existing ephemeral pools were protected and that amphibians that use the pools would be protected from local traffic. The Lab personnel will implement follow-up efforts to ensure the wetland develops as it was intended. This could require removal of invasive exotics, adjustment to the level of the water in the wetland, or other measures that might be required by the NYS DEC or the US Army Corps of Engineers.
These wetlands should enhance anyone's visit to the new lab and will provide a valuable local example of created wetlands to watch as they mature and to use as a benchmark for similar projects in the region.

Cumberland University, TN Innovative Step to Help Students Cope with Energy Costs

Type: Policy
Status: To begin in Fall 2008
Source File: http://www.sitemason.com/newspub/fp4bUQ?id=57459
Description:
Beginning with the fall 2008 semester, in an effort to help students grapple with rising fuel costs while offering expanded academic assistance opportunities, Cumberland University will begin holding courses on-campus four days per week rather than the traditional five, according to University administrators.
"Beginning this September, traditional face-to-face classes will not be held on Wednesdays," CU President Dr. Harvill C. Eaton announced. "With no formal teaching responsibilities on those days, our faculty will instead make themselves available and advise students. In some cases, these engagements will be in person; in other cases, they will be by telephone, e-mail, text messaging or the Internet."
In order to compensate for the instructional hour lost by eliminating a day from the traditional Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule, Eaton explained one-third of each three-credit-hour course will be delivered online.
"Many members of our faculty have become experts in internet course delivery thanks to their experience with our online academic programs," CU Vice President for Academics Dr. Wilbur "Pete" Peterson said. "Not only will this new plan help our commuters deal with the rising cost of fuel, but it will also fit well into today's society, which has become increasingly mobile."
"By offering additional academic enhancement opportunities each Wednesday, we feel our students only stand to gain from this innovative approach," Eaton added. "They'll still take part in all of the required coursework. They'll have an entire day open to meet with their respective professors, and they'll save a little gas money in the process."
With the average price of a gallon of gasoline quickly approaching the four-dollar mark in Tennessee and a recent statement by U.S. Energy Department spokesperson Guy Caruso that the price is expected to remain at $4 per gallon through 2009, Eaton said it was imperative that Cumberland take action.
Roughly two-thirds of Cumberland's student body is composed of commuters who regularly travel anywhere from five to 20 miles between their homes and the University's campus in Lebanon, he explained.
"Everyone is susceptible to the skyrocketing price of gasoline, particularly college students," Eaton said. "At Cumberland, we talk of being personal, of our willingness to go above and beyond to make certain our students' needs are addressed. We believe that taking a step such as this will demonstrate our concern for our students' welfare while helping prepare them to communicate responsibly in today's mobile society."

Dallas, TX Citizen Forester Program

Type: Program
Status: Launched in 2007
Source File: http://www.greendallas.net/pdfs/Citizen_Forester_Program_052108.pdf
Description:
Urban Forest Advisory Committee Unveils 2008 Citizen Forester Program
City plans to train Dallas residents to preserve area trees
With spring’s arrival and the commencement of growing season, Dallas’ Urban Forest Advisory
Committee (UFAC) is announcing its upcoming Citizen Forester Program for area residents interested in trees.
The program, in its second year, trains citizen volunteers on how to care for and preserve the city’s trees and
urban forests.
The Citizen Forester classes are a combination of classroom instruction and actual field training that enables
citizens to learn basic tree skills to protect trees in their neighborhood while also advocating the importance of
Dallas’ urban forests. The practical topics include Tree Identification, planting and pruning skills, and the
benefits of Dallas trees.
Additionally, the program also addresses the important subject of appropriate tree plantings near utility lines—
which can prevent unpopular, yet often necessary, tree prunings.
Classes will be 2-3 hours in length followed by 1-2 hours of field training. The monthly program runs from June
11 - November 12 and will be held in North Dallas at Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Office on Coit Road. Later,
starting September 10, classes will be held in near downtown at Reverchon Park.
UFAC is co-sponsoring the effort with the City of Dallas Park and Recreation Department. The forester program is open to all area residents, no experience is required, and the cost is $75 per person. Upon completion, the City asks attendees to volunteer 25 community service hours by assisting on city tree and forestry projects. Members of both UFAC and the Parks Department will be featured speakers.
“Our goal is to reach out to citizens interested in our trees and urban forests and provide them with basic tree
skills. Once equipped, these new citizen foresters can advocate the importance of Dallas’ trees and rebeautify
their neighborhoods.” said Eric Larner, a UFAC member and the program’s leader.
This program is one of many things UFAC has spearheaded since the Dallas City Council created the advisory
group in 2005. Since then, the committee has helped plant thousands of city trees, published a citizen tree
planting guide and supported the city’s first Urban Forester. UFAC is comprised of citizens and city officials
whose goal is to re-beautify Dallas with trees.
