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.



James San Jacinto Mountains Reserve



Located in Southern California's San Jacinto Mountains, the Natural Reserve System's (NRS) James Reserve is at the forefront of an effort to use high technology to gain insight into the natural world. Embedded cameras monitor the nesting cycles of birds, sensor networks track weather data on habitat microclimates, and computers map out the potential damage from wildfires.
