Stunt Ranch Classroom and Nature Center
The Stunt Ranch Santa Monica Mountains Reserve is a 310-acre biological field station located four miles inland on the north central flank of the Santa Monica Mountains. The UCLA Reserve officially joined the University of California Natural Reserve System (UC NRS) in November 1995, becoming the system's 32nd site and one of two administered by the Los Angeles campus. Dedicated to contributing to the understanding and wise management of the Earth and its natural ecosystems, the mission of the Stunt Ranch Reserve is to support university-level teaching, research, and public service at Stunt Ranch and other protected natural areas in the heavily urbanized Los Angeles area. Access is by prior approval only; the Reserve does not charge for use at this time.
