"The University has identified and implemented seven No Mow Zones across campus. Benefits from this effort include lower maintenance costs, fewer emissions from mowers, and attracting wildlife to campus. Eventually some of these areas may be restored to a true prairie. In June 2009, two small prairie plantings (1/4th acre total) were installed at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Another 2.5 acre No Mow Zone is in the planning stages for prairie restoration in spring 2010."
