The UC Natural Reserve System is a network of 41 protected natural areas located throughout the State that provides undisturbed
environments for research, education and public outreach programs. It is the largest university-administered reserve system
in the world encompassing more than 756,000 acres of diverse habitats from the ocean to the mountains to the inland deserts,
and with access to more than a million acres of public lands. The Natural Reserve System contributes to the understanding
and wise stewardship of the Earth.
The seven UC NRS Reserves managed by UCSB are used by thousands of researchers, students and public visitors each year as
they investigate and learn about the natural world. Reserve users come from throughout California, the U.S. and the world
to study the Reserve's diverse natural systems and native flora and fauna.
The Santa Cruz Island Reserve records are open for research. Material continues to be added to this collection and will be
open for research as it is processed.
