Visiting Sedgwick

The primary focus of University of California's Natural Reserves is to provide educational and research access. Sedgwick is one of the few reserves that has made itself accessible to the public. Our public access opportunities include

Our Walking Ecology lecture series or public hikes, typically held on the 2nd Saturday of every month
During occasional open houses and special events
When accompanied by a Sedgwick docent (or any day except Sunday if you are a Sedgwick docent!)

Join our newsletter list for updated announcements regarding public programming!

Guidelines for Reserve Visitors:

DO NOT visit without having made advanced reservation and receiving Reserve staff approval, unless you are attending a public class or special event (advanced registration sometimes required).
DO NOT smoke, bring dogs, collect, hunt, or ride mountain bikes, horses, or ATV’s on the Reserve without prior approval from the Reserve Manager.
DO NOT disturb reserve residents, livestock, or experiments.
DO keep vehicles on established roadways and vehicle trails and carry a cell phone (and fire extinguisher during fire season). A fire can easily start from parking in grass tall when your car's catalytic converter is hot.
DO leave gates as you find them (e.g., if closed and locked, close and lock it after passing).
DO stop by the administrative office (big blue roofed building) and sign in.
