Description

Hastings is a Biological Field Station of the University of California, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and Natural Reserve System. We provide the wildlands and facilities to conduct university and graduate level studies of natural systems in the Santa Lucia mountain range in Monterey County, California. An area of about 2,000 acres, Hastings was set aside in 1937 to be managed with minimal disturbance. Hastings encourages a community of researchers to live lightly in the ecosystem they study. About 500 research projects have been conducted since 1937 at Hastings. These studies reveal that every species has a fascinating story. These stories put our lives into perspective. We hope that understanding the natural world around us will inspire people to protect and appreciate whatever is still wild and under their care.
