Central Methodist University Environmental Science Club

Central Methodist University Environmental Science Club Faculty and students who get outside, support sustainability and manage the CMU Wildlife Sanctuary.

We are an interdisciplinary group of faculty, staff, and students who get out in nature, support sustainability and help with the stewardship of the CMU-owned Besgrove-Hodge Wildlife Sanctuary where we are working to restore native grasslands and improve our patch of forest.

Big thanks to everyone that was able to help with our Prescribed Burn on Saturday! We successfully burned about 85% of the 13 acres that were replanted in the native pollinator plant mix. Watch for a big bloom later in the season!

In late summer we began prepping for a native vegetation restoration by spraying herbicide on 13 acres of cool season grasses. Yesterday we burned the dead grass off to open up bare ground for broadcasting the seed this winter. We developed a burn plan with our local MDC Private Lands Conservationist, Ryan Luekenhoff. Environmental Science Club students gained some great experience in prescribed burning and were invaluable in making this happen! Big thanks to Ryan and our CMU students, Amanda, Hunter, and Julianna!
