THE NATURE OF UC

Ways to give


RESERVE OPERATIONS AND COVID-19

During the unprecedented public health crisis posed by the spread of COVID-19,
the UC Natural Reserve System supports the cancellation of any reservation to
protect the health and safety of visitors and staff. Reserve visitation remains
the authority of respective campus NRS and reserve staff. Reserves are empowered
to make the determination to cancel reservations as needed on a case-by-case
basis. COVID-19 Information for UC employees provides guidance for all
University of California operations. We consider the well being of our community
to be paramount, and enjoin all staff and visitors to continue our exemplary
55-year record of service and safety.


ABOUT US

The UC Natural Reserve System is a library of ecosystems throughout California.
Most of the state's major habitat types are represented, from coastal tidepools
to inland deserts, and lush wetlands to redwood forests. No other network of
field sites can match its size, scope, and ecological diversity. The NRS offers
outdoor laboratories to field scientists, classrooms without walls for students,
and nature’s inspiration to all.


BY THE NUMBERS
















WHAT WE DO




RESEARCH

Scientists from around the world conduct field research in the protected
landscapes of the Natural Reserve System on topics ranging from climate change
to endangered species to habitat restoration.


TEACHING

Visiting a reserve brings textbook lessons about the natural world to life.
Students and teachers flock to reserves from the University of California and
institutions around the globe.


PUBLIC SERVICE

From hosting school field trips, to organizing scientific lecture series, to
welcoming the public for weekend classes, NRS reserves benefit California
communities.
