Downer Woods and buildings preservation. 36.37(1)(1)
Statement of purpose. The purpose of this section is to promote the permanent conservation and enhancement, by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, of the area known as Downer Woods; to designate and protect, as a permanent conservancy area, at least 10 acres of the woods; and to permit limited modification, in a manner consistent with the aforesaid purposes, of that portion of the woods whose present character as park and woodland lends itself to utilization, by the university and the surrounding community, as essential recreational and aesthetic corridors.
36.37(2)
(2) Legislative findings. The legislature finds it in the public interest to recognize and foster the principle of environmental quality in the area known as Downer Woods by preserving it as a conservancy area and protecting it, consistent with
sub. (4), from encroachment or disparate uses. The woods is the sole remaining natural area remaining on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and as such, its preservation and enhancement is consistent with the university's recognition of its need to protect and enhance its own physical environment, and to serve the pressing human need of its faculty, students and staff, as well as the greater Milwaukee community, to live and work in an urban environment which respects those portions of unspoiled nature which yet exist. The woods is a unique asset; it provides visual relief to the concentrated building pattern surrounding it, complements the urban landscape and affords aesthetically and psychologically attractive places for people to congregate and relax. In addition, the woods serves as a refuge for wildlife and vegetation, and is, therefore, an important educational, scientific and ecological resource to the university and the community. Its presence imparts priceless recreational and aesthetic values.
36.37(3)
(3) Definitions. In this section, "Downer Woods" or "the woods" means those parcels of wood, parkland and buildings comprising more than 18.805 acres located on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and divided into 4 separate and distinct categories, which categories shall define the proper and permissible uses of the parcels, as follows:

36.37(3)(c)

36.37(3)(d)
(d) The buildings and grounds of the former Downer college with any reconstruction or renovation which may be authorized by the board.
36.37(4)(a)(a) That portion of Downer Woods designated a permanent conservation area is to be forever protected from encroachment or disparate uses, and its boundaries are to be defined and protected by fencing or other suitable means.
36.37(4)(b)
(b) That portion of Downer Woods designated as permanently reserved woodland shall be set aside exclusively for purposes of community enhancement and relaxation, and any disparate uses to or encroachments upon such land is prohibited.
36.37(4)(c)
(c) That portion of Downer Woods designated as park and woodland areas may be used by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as recreational and aesthetic corridors, if any modifications made to such portions of the woods do not significantly alter the present character of such land, and any disparate uses to or encroachments upon such land is prohibited.
