The University of California's Natural Reserve System (NRS) provides a diversity of sites throughout the state for such research. Sedgwick Reserve (SR), administered by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Natural Reserve System since 1993 and located in the Santa Ynez Valley of central coastal California, is the most recent addition to the NRS, SR serves as a site for scientists and educators from the University of California and other university campuses throughout the state and country to study ecology, evolutionary biology, geography, soil science, geology, agricultural science, anthropology and natural history. Because of its recent history as a working cattle ranch and farm, SR offers unique opportunities for studying interactions between natural and agricultural and rangeland ecosystems. With its recent inclusion in the NRS and the hiring of full-time, on-site directors, Sedgwick Reserve is poised to develop its scientific, education and public service missions. SR is located 35 miles north of the city of Santa Barbara and the UCSB campus in the Santa Ynez Valley. The 2050 ha reserve encompassess an extremely wide variety of plant communities including coastal sage scrub, blue oak woodland, valley oak savanna, coast live oak forest, serpentine chaparral, serpentine grassland, foothill pine woodland, willow riparian forest, vernal pools, seeps and springs. A comprehensive planning effort by UCSB faculty and staff is underway to develop SR's scientific, education, stewardship and public service missions. When fully developed, SR will fulfill the needs of interdisciplinary research and instruction in the field sciences, of preservation of critical and sensitive habitats, and of environmental education and outreach for the general public. To further this multiple mission of research, education, stewardship and community service, this project will support a workshop to develop a long-range research plan for SR. The product of th e project will be a long-range scientific research plan for the next 10 years

加州大学的自然保护区系统(NRS)为这类研究提供了全州不同的地点。Sedgwick保护区(SR)自1993年起由加州大学圣巴巴拉分校(UCSB)自然保护区系统管理，位于加州中部沿海的Santa Ynez山谷，是NRS的最新成员，SR是加州大学和全州其他大学校园的科学家和教育工作者学习生态学、进化生物学、地理学、土壤学、地质学、农业科学、人类学和自然历史的场所。由于其最近的历史作为一个工作的牛场和农场，SR为研究自然、农业和牧场生态系统之间的相互作用提供了独特的机会。塞奇威克保护区最近被纳入NRS，并聘请了全职现场主管，准备发展其科学、教育和公共服务任务。SR位于圣巴巴拉市以北35英里处，位于圣伊内斯山谷的UCSB校区。2050公顷的保护区涵盖了极其广泛的植物群落，包括沿海鼠尾草灌木丛、蓝橡树林地、山谷橡树稀树草原、海岸活橡树林、蛇形藤本植物、蛇形草原、山脚松林、柳树河岸森林、泉水池塘、渗漏和泉水。UCSB教职员工正在进行一项全面的规划工作，以发展SR的科学、教育、管理和公共服务使命。完全开发后，SR将满足实地科学中跨学科研究和教学的需要，保护关键和敏感栖息地的需要，以及公众环境教育和推广的需要。为了推进研究、教育、管理和社区服务的多重使命，该项目将支持一个研讨会，为SR制定长期研究计划。该项目的成果将是未来10年的长期科学研究计划
