UCF has requested the release of 7.85 acres of land protected by a conservation easement from the St. Johns Water Management District. This area is a portion of the 82-acre Arboretum that educates students and the community about nature and protects the environment.
Patrick Bohlen, Arboretum director since the fall of 2010, said this area was chosen for the easement release because it is inside the Gemini loop and is suitable for future building in the core of campus.
The request includes a proposal to transfer the current conservation easement to another parcel of land on campus.
