Sagehen Creek Field Station is a research and teaching facility of the University of California at Berkeley's Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, the Berkeley Natural History Museums & the University of California Natural Reserve System. Sagehen is also a member of the Organization of Biological Field Stations.
The Station was established in 1951 with the signing of a long-term special use permit with the USDA Forest Service; today, this relationship includes the Tahoe National Forest which manages the land, & the Pacific Southwest Research Station, which created the Sagehen Experimental Forest on 28 Nov. 2005.
Sagehen serves as the hub of a much broader network of research areas known as the Central Sierra Field Research Stations.[1] CSFRS consists of:
- Sagehen Creek Field Station
- Central Sierra Snow Laboratory
- Onion Creek Experimental Watershed
- Chickering American Reserve
- North Fork Association Lands
The Station is not generally open to the public. However, Sagehen hosts periodic public events.[2]
Sagehen also maintains a public news blog[3] and video log.[4]
Climate
Sagehen Creek has a continental Mediterranean climate (Köppen Dsb) with subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) characteristics.
