Welcome!

Is the wise use of our resources and the health of our communities important to you?  Do you like plants?  Are you interested in fishing, hunting, or wildlife conservation in general?  With degrees in horticulture and in natural resources and environmental sciences, and with programs in Urbana, Chicago, and online, we can help you grow a sustainable future.  Floral and landscape design, nursery production and management, managing soil and water quality, urban forestry, resource ecology, and studying the effects of humans on the landscape (and the landscape on humans) are just some of the things we do.
