The Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve, UC Natural Reserve System
Situated on California's scenic Big Sur Coast, the NRS's Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve provides researchers and students with a spectacular location to study nature. Scientists use the reserve to track water quality, monitor fish populations, and survey California's disappearing native wildflowers. Students from UC Santa Cruz use the adjacent marine reserve to test their underwater research skills, and schoolchildren visit Big Creek to learn how animals adapt to their environment.
