Mission

The La Kretz Research Center at Sedgwick Reserve was established in 2016 as an intellectual center for research in conservation science.

Our mission is to identify, investigate, and help solve pressing environmental problems that impact California’s diverse habitats and species.

We do this in partnership with Reserve staff by sparking interdisciplinary, translational research that utilizes Sedgwick Reserve lands and the historic Sedgwick Ranch House, while leveraging the Reserve’s many facilities, outreach and education programs.
