Using The Reserve
Big Creek Reserve burned in the Dolan Fire and experienced debris flows which destroyed campgrounds, roads, and trails. Some repairs have been made so that research and coursework has resumed.
Working at Big Creek requires an approved application for research or educational purposes. Applications are submitted through the UC Natural Reserve System Reservations System (RAMS).
