Because the foundation of CSU was built on agricultural research, many sites are used for world-renowned environmental research. Outside the main campus is the agricultural campus for study and the foothills campus for project research. Pingree Park is also a part of the extended campus and is used for natural resource management, wildlife, and fishery biology.
