Scottsdale Community College is situated on 160 acres leased from the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. The campus is comprised of a variety of habitats ranging from urban to desert, with approximately three-quarters of the land developed.
The Center for Native and Urban Wildlife strongly supports using native plants wherever possible, to promote the survival of native animals. Native plants provide shelter and food for native animals. The campus boasts impressive biodiversity figures, considering that much of the land is developed or semi-urban. For example, over 70 species of birds have been observed, and many nesting sites have been documented.
