Natural Reserve System

The University of California's Natural Reserve System is a comprehensive network of protected ecosystems across California, representing a wide array of habitats from coastal tidepools to redwood forests. This unique program serves as a living laboratory for researchers, educators, and the public, facilitating field studies on topics such as climate change, endangered species, and habitat restoration.

With a commitment to education and public service, the NRS engages students, teachers, and communities through hands-on experiences and scientific lectures. The reserves support various programs, including the California Ecology and Conservation course, aimed at cultivating the next generation of naturalists and environmental leaders.
