Trent Lands and Nature Areas Plan Update

The Trent Symons Campus Lands are a precious asset, rich in natural and cultural heritage, vital to the resilience of Trent and our communities. Our vision is to create an inspiring, sustainable, and complete community to learn, live, innovate, and be active. In our care for and use of the land, Trent will demonstrate leadership in environmental education and stewardship, respect for Indigenous Traditional Knowledge, and thoughtful integration of the natural and built environment. 

The Trent Lands & Nature Areas Plan serves as a framework to guide the continued evolution of the campus over the next few decades, advancing education on the environment, preserving our valued Nature Areas, and providing targeted actions for a healthy ecosystem. It will enable us to respond to housing pressures on our campus and in the community, and create employment opportunities. It will enrich the campus environment and create a greater connection between the campus and the community, and it will create a revenue stream for the University to invest in advancing our mission, which has never been more critical.
