Florida Gulf Coast University resides on a historical plot of land. This land was once a swampy mash that was taken over by a type of tree called the Exotic Melaleuca. Naturally, when preparing land for building there are many things that must be done before building can occur. The 700 acres that FGCU now sits on had to be looked at by ecologists to discuss the environmental damage that can be caused with human interference. These assessments were then taken into account and plans were drawn to make the habitat better and more efficient. Water and sewer lines were a huge deal before building could occur and that took a lot of planning and time to complete. Mining and logging of the land decades before FGCU was even thought of brought about catastrophic consequences. The dominating Exotic Melaleuca crowded the animal habitat as well as other plant species. Denying them space and nutrients to grow. All of these things called for a group of people to begin dramatic restoration of the property. Wide spread burning, shaping, digging, planting, and growing were all tools used to help in this process. There are three types of habit that can be found on campus today.
