INTRODUCTION

The experiments conducted on the various areas were completed to determine the conditions of the campus and to created a record of the areas to help note the progresses that could be made in the future.  Clermont College is a growing appendage of the University of Cincinnati. On May 18, 2006, the University dedicated the West Wood Academic Center, its fifth building in six years.  With the Clermont campus' rapidly growing enrollment and the need for expansion, increasing amounts of the surrounding nature will be deleted as compensation.  The data collected will serve as a key reference for future students of the ecology of the deleted areas.
