The two campuses provide high-quality\, diverse wildlife habitat and are the site of long-term avian monitoring studies including MAPS\, Project Owl-net and the Motus network. The Al & Laurie Hein Visitors Center has been 30 years in the making. Research and planning included habitat management plans\, wildlife surveys\, community surveys and the inclusion of many voices.
