Biology Facilities
Greenhouse
Our department has on-site greenhouse facilities that allow the growth of plants in three different climates. This allows for student experience in our botany courses of both in-field and more exotic flora in the greenhouse. This area is also available for student research purposes.
Field Sites
The department has active collaborations with surrounding areas that provide access to phenomenal field sites for our Biology and Wildlife and Natural Resources students. This includes Lake Pueblo, Colorado Fish and Wildlife, the Pueblo Chemical Depot, Pueblo Nature and Raptor Center, and several large private ranches.
