UC Davis NRS Campus Office

Information

The UC Davis (UCD) NRS campus office directly administers and manages three reserves—Jepson Prairie Reserve (JPR), Quail Ridge Reserve (QRR), and Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve (SCC)—and acts as home campus for two others with on-site management—Donald and Sylvia McLaughlin Natural Reserve (MNR) and Bodega Marine Reserve (BMR). Many UCD campus office records are active files, meaning they are still in use and not inventoried by the NRS Archive Project, but the campus still has a significant collection of historical documents detailed below. The UCD campus collections are notable for the comprehensive and sustained effort to collect and preserve records from different points in the system ranging from reserve staff to individual faculty and UCD chancellors.
