The Institute for Environmental Studies has published “J. F. Oberlin University Environmental Report 2013.”

“Creating an Eco-Campus” is one of J. F. Oberlin’s medium-term goals, to be accomplished by the end of the 2014–2015 academic year. To keep the university community informed of progress in the effort, the annual environmental reports have been issued since 2010.

The 2013 report contains several pages about plants and insects on campus, edited by students, in addition to information about the present environmental situation on campus, ongoing efforts, research, and the university’s contributions to the local community.
