How a “gateway reserve” serves as a research hub & expands scientific horizons beyond NRS boundaries

The UC Natural Reserve System encompasses roughly 135,000 acres at 36 sites across California. That’s a minute fraction of the land controlled by major land-management agencies throughout the state.
