The Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary, a nonprofit nature conservation center located about 30 minutes from campus, was acquired by CSUF between 1968 and 1969 from the San Fernando Audubon Society. It is managed by the Col- lege of Natural Sciences and Math- ematics and works closely with the Volunteer and Service Center on campus. The facility features a green- house, holding plants native to California, various species of birds, as well as other wildlife.
