In most parks and natural areas, regulations discourage or prohibit collecting specimens, manipulating habitats, and disturbing plants and animals. While such restrictions can be important in protecting the integrity of the environment, they also make it difficult, if not impossible, to conduct many types of scientific activities.

 

Field Stations provide us with a place to study nature with fewer distractions and greater flexibility - a place where you can establish experiments without worrying about someone pulling up your survey flags, stepping on your study organisms, or walking away with your expensive data logger.

 

Therefore, it is no surprise that field stations have been at the forefront of agricultural, biological and natural resource research and education for more than a century. Below you will find a links to CABNR's current properties.
