Stunt Ranch Santa Monica Mountains Reserve: The 310-acre UCLA Stunt Ranch Santa Monica Mountains Reserve, an outdoor classroom and living laboratory for environmental education and research, lies in the Cold Creek watershed of the Santa Monica Mountains. In addition to university level use, the reserve has forged a partnership between UCLA and K-12 education in the greater Los Angeles area. Thousands of such students visit Stunt Ranch annually as part of a formal program coordinated by the Cold Creek Docents, a division of the Mountains Restoration Trust (MRT).  For more information about the Stunt Ranch Reserve see http://nrs.ucop.edu/Reserves/stunt.html.
