Stunt Ranch Santa Monica Mountains Reserve, Biological field station in Calabasas, United States.
The 310-acre reserve contains chaparral, oak woodlands, grasslands, and riparian habitats with over 300 plant species in the Santa Monica Mountains.
The Stunt family settled in Cold Creek watershed during the late 1800s, and Ethel Stunt later donated the ranch to Occidental College in 1971.
The site preserves artifacts from Gabrielino and Chumash peoples, including soapstone bowls, hammerstones, and mortars dating back 3,000 years.
Located 8 miles north of Malibu, the reserve functions as an educational center where thousands of Los Angeles students participate in field studies.
Cold Creek, the only north-to-south flowing stream in the Santa Monica Mountains, maintains year-round water flow through the protected area.
