NRS Documentary


ANR Communications, based at UC Davis, worked with the NRS systemwide staff to produce a series of television programs on the NRS. These included a 7-minute overview of the entire system, as well as half hour programs on five individual reserves -- Coal Oil Point, Hastings, James San Jacinto Mountains, Landels-Hill Big Creek, and Sedgwick. Each program highlights the reserve’s natural features, its history, and current research programs. Originally aired via satellite on University of California Television (UCTV), the programs are now available in full via video-on-demand at UCTV’s web site, http://www.uctv.tv.



Hastings Natural History Reservation



Go behind the scenes at the Hastings Reserve to examine the social structure of acorn woodpeckers and western bluebirds and take a look at the restoration of California's native grasslands. The Hastings Reserve, the University of California Natural Reserve System's (NRS) Biological Field Station in the Santa Lucia mountain range in Monterey, was set aside in 1937 to be managed with minimal disturbance providing researchers an important ecosystem for study.
