Support Us

Support the UCSC Campus Natural Reserve

Your gift will directly support research, education, and stewardship activities on the UC Santa Cruz Campus Natural Reserve. Projects for which we seek funding include facilities enhancements and replacements, technology improvements, environmental monitoring, resource inventories, and staff positions that provide technical support to all of our reserve.

Gifts from individuals, corporations and foundations are critical to supporting the mission of the UC Santa Cruz Campus Natural Reserve and work in partnership with funding from the University. This public-private partnership plays a significant role not only in maintaining our unique and valuable resource but also in building the University of California’s capacity. Gifts in any amount are welcome for programs that benefit all of our reserve, in education, in research and in public outreach.

Current Reserve Needs

The UCSC Campus Natural Reserve uses donor gift funds to purchase supplies for each of our internships. Current needs include:

–funding to hire student employees to lead field crews

–supplies for pre-forest treatment monitoring plots

–tools for trail maintenance and forest management

We thank you for your support!
