Trent Lands and Nature Areas Plan Update

The draft Implementation Plan, part IV of the Trent Lands & Nature Areas Plan identifies a Trent-specific approach through which the ideas and concepts of this Plan may be achieved to support the campus vision and principles. It also includes a monitoring and review process that allows for the Plan to evolve as the world around us changes, maintaining the University’s competitive and leadership role as our understanding, partnerships, and available technologies grow.

Feedback is being accepted online until Friday, March 5, 2021, and the Implementation Plan will be presented to the University's Board of Governors at their March meeting.

In 2017, Trent University was challenged to update the Symons campus lands plan in a way that would enhance the learning environment, advance community needs and aspirations, build our financial sustainability, reflect our leadership in environmental and Indigenous studies, and strengthen our reputation. In response, we launched a collaborative process to bring together the Nature Areas Stewardship Plan (2002), the Endowment Lands Master Plan (2006), and the Trent Lands Plan (2013) into one integrated stewardship and land-use planning framework. 

The resulting plan will serve as a framework for 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 town and gown, and it will create a revenue stream for the University to invest in advancing our mission, which has never been more critical.
