Spaces
For Our Sustainability and Environmental Projects
Carolyn and Robert Wohlsen '50 Center for the Sustainable Environment
The Wohlsen Center houses and consolidates the College's sustainability and environmental efforts. It includes the Director's office, the Artist in Residence's office, a seminar room and a public education/meeting space. It is also home to the student-run Fair Trade Café and Environmental Action Alliance club and other programs.
Millport Conservancy
The Millport Conservancy lies about 10 miles from campus, and provides opportunities for classes, research and volunteer projects, and recreational activities. This stunning 100-acre wildlife refuge in Warwick Township includes a nature trail, a 19th-century Millport Roller Mill, auxiliary buildings and surrounding farmland. The Mill has showcased local and regional artists and hosts programs designed to draw attention to local wildlife and habitat preservation.
Baker Woodlands
This property served as a brick-making facility, a municipal landfill and a reclaimed urban wildland. Now, faculty and students conduct research on recovering brownfields and wetland evolution at this site.
Lancaster County
The county boasts the most fertile, non-irrigated farmland in the East. It has been cultivated since the 1700s. Farmland preservation and environmental stewardship are important aspects of the county's culture, and F&M faculty and students take full advantage of this in multiple types of research.
