UCI Ecological Preserve

The UCI Ecological Preserve is a 62-acre protected area of coastal sage scrub and grassland habitat managed by the University of California Irvine as part of the Natural Reserve System. This preserve serves as a vital resource for scientific research on climate change, endangered species, and habitat preservation while also acting as an outdoor classroom for students engaged in ecological studies and restoration efforts.

Community engagement is a cornerstone of the preserve's mission, with UCI Nature organizing numerous volunteer events that invite local residents and students of all ages to participate in conservation projects. The Ecological Preserve not only contributes to environmental understanding but also fosters a sense of stewardship within the community.
