Dear UC Riverside Community,

We are now accepting applications for the Spring 2025 offering of the UC Natural Reserve System field program, California Ecology and Conservation<https://ucnrs.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c0fc16c01900ff19a4e09abe4&id=ce0e5d0d59&e=19facadbca>. Applications are due on October 25, 2024. Please spread the word!
Application portal<https://ucnrs.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c0fc16c01900ff19a4e09abe4&id=0d47cd6ef5&e=19facadbca>

California Ecology and Conservation is an intensive field program which transforms students into scientists. The course is specifically tailored for students contemplating a career in ecology, conservation biology, or a related field. This spring will mark our 30th run. Since its inception in 2015, over 500 undergraduates from across the UC system have participated.

For 50 days, 27 undergraduates from across the UC system participate in hands-on learning, gaining a familiarity with some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes the state has to offer. Students complete a series of independent research studies while learning to notice natural patterns, frame questions into feasible research projects, and practice standard field techniques. At the conclusion of each project, students analyze their data and present their findings in oral presentations and written reports. All the while, students grow as leaders, teammates, and members of a diverse and enthusiastic community of scholars.

All UC undergraduates who have a 2.5+ GPA, are in good standing with their home campus, and have successfully completed an introductory biology course are eligible to apply.
Here is what one of our alumni has to say about the experience:

I learned about the CEC course through my club’s discord. My favorite aspects of the course were the nature hikes, good food, visiting reserves and nearby places like Mono Lake and Lake Tahoe, and learning about animals, plants, and new friends. The application process is easy.
