Reserves offer outdoor laboratories to field scientists, classrooms without walls for students, and nature’s inspiration to all. Founded in 1965 to provide a network of wildland sites available for scientific study, the NRS has grown to include more than 40 locations encompassing more than 756,000 acres across the state.

  • Background of Younger Lagoon Reserve
    Background to Younger Lagoon Reserve 1 Naomi Stern Senior Internship Professor Karen Holl Winter 2013 Background to Younger Lagoon Reserve: A Socio-political Perspective Introduction Younger Lagoon Reserve (YLR) is a 72 acre (29 hectare) protected natural area surrounded by a diverse mix of agricultural and urban land uses. YLR is part of the University of California Natural Reserve System (UCNRS). Founded in 1965, the UC NRS is a network of protected lands that are used for research, education and public service. Today there are 39 reserves spanning approximately 750,000 acres of rare or endangered ecosystems in California (UC Natural Reserve 2012). UC Santa Cruz manages four reserves: Año Nuevo Island Reserve, Fort Ord Natural Reserve, Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve in Big Sur, and Younger Lagoon Reserve. Located only half a mile north from one of the most popular beaches in Santa Cruz, Natural Bridges State Park, and near Highway 1, YLR land is highly visible to the public. YLR’s habitat types include such as seasonal freshwater wetlands, coastal prairie, and coastal scrub. Throughout its history, this land and its ecology have been continuously transformed by the social, economic, and political issues of the time. Today, adjacent to the reserve are highly visited tourist attractions and official government agencies, as well as world-class marine laboratories. The history of land use conversion and public policy at YLR influences the managerial restoration decisions made to protect it. Developing an understanding of the political systems Background to Younger Lagoon Reserve 2 that impact Younger Lagoon provides insight into the restoration that interns and volunteers take part in.

Is it “Time to Stop 1442-A Walnut Street, #462 A Berkeley, CA 94709 Worrying about Invasive Species” as suggested by Scientifi c American (6/8/11)? ph (510) 843-3902 fax (510) 217-3500 www.cal-ipc.org [email protected] The primary provocation for these articles is a short opinion piece called “Don’t A California 501(c)3 nonprofi t organization judge species on their origins” from June’s Nature magazine.
