Teh best Ivy League, hands down. Seriously, whoever is behind this movement at the college deserves a huge round of applause and some serious admiration. I am sure he faced resistance and pressure from the groundskeepers, chemical vendors, and local pesticide companies. It takes guts and immense character to stand up to these people. I love you, Harvard!!!

Everyone should remember the kill-off of robins on the Michigan State University campus years ago due to chemicals sprayed wantonly across the campus to prevent the Dutch Elm Disease. University of Illinois simply cut down the trees to kill off the insects and planted alternative trees. Michigan State had 100s of dead birds in the beautiful Cedar River that flows through the campus.
