Sagehen Creek Field Station

The Sagehen Creek Field Station spans across mountain ecosystems with laboratories, experimental forests, and monitoring stations for environmental research and education purposes.

The University of California established the field station in 1951 through a special use permit with the US Forest Service to study Sierra Nevada ecosystems.

The station operates educational programs for students, including summer science camps, entomology courses, and outdoor education classes for local schools.

The facility includes 22 buildings with housing for 59 people, research laboratories, classrooms, a library, and a communal kitchen for year-round operations.

The field station maintains extensive research databases containing aerial photographs, natural resource mapping, and climate records spanning over seven decades.
