ECORE Properties

The ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Greenway is the stretch of land from the southwest corner of campus that is home to the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Botanical Gardens, to the northeast corner beyond central campus, where the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Forest Preserve sits (not pictured). The ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Greenway is essential to stormwater management for the Tampa campus. Through a series of green space, ponds, and canals, water flows out of central campus and into either the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Forest Preserve or the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Botanical Gardens that bookends the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Greenway.

In addition to stormwater management, the Greenway is a network of trails and green spaces that connect various areas of the campus and provide a safe and enjoyable place for students, faculty, and staff to exercise, relax, and connect with nature. All current ECORE System properties are a part of the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Greenway.

The Greenway also serves as a living laboratory for research and education. The natural ecosystems and biodiversity found within these spaces provide opportunities for students and researchers to study and learn about the environment, ecology, and sustainability.  

Managing the different properties under the ECORE System allows the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Greenway to thrive. By preserving the beauty of the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Forest Preserve and hosting collections in the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Botanical Gardens, the ECORE System is making a greener ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ.
