FSEEC       

Ball State University’s Field Station and Environmental Education Center (FSEEC) provides hands-on learning and observation of nature and encourages exploration of natural processes by students of all ages. Our research activities are directed toward understanding human impact on ecological processes and communities.

The FSEEC is a collaboration of the Departments of Biology, Natural Resources and Environmental Management, Landscape Architecture, Geology and others. The six properties (425 acres) that comprise the FSEEC are: Christy Woods, Cooper Farm, Skinner Field Area, Ginn Woods, Juanita Hults Environmental Learning Center and Donald E. Miller Wildlife Area. Collectively these properties include forests, successional meadows, tallgrass prairies, wetlands and agricultural ground which are managed to maintain and restore the native biodiversity of Indiana.

From Dr. Robert H. Cooper,
Head of Science Department, Emeritus, 1960:
"The values of such outdoor classrooms cannot be measured in the lifespan of an individual. At Ball State, these areas provide an environment wherein prospective teachers and prospective students of other professions find environments for study which are fast disappearing throughout the countryside and are not available for educational use of college youths. Living among plants and animals and knowing little about them is somewhat like living in a foreign land among people whose names one does not know, and whose language one does not understand. Time spent in learning something about natural things in ones environment yields high dividends for a lifetime."
