The Cofrin Arboretum Center for Biodiversity (CACB) was established at the
University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in May 1999. Its mission is to promote education,
research, and community services which contribute to conservation of the fauna and

to facilitate non-confrontational conservation activities, especially through the
collection and dissemination of scientific information.
