The Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve, set in a steep north-facing canyon of the northern Coast Range, provides excellent opportunities to study plant and animal communities of both the inner and outer Coast Ranges. Differences in slope, exposure, and moisture regimes promote a variety of undisturbed habitats, including valley and foothill grasslands, blue oak woodland, chamise chaparral, lower montane chaparral, mixed riparian woodland, and intermittent foothill stream. Year-round springs provide watering areas for many wildlife species, such as bear, mountain lion, deer, ringtail, and turkey. Adjacent protected lands held by U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the California Department of Fish and Game are also available for study, and greatly expand the effective research area.

Now Available! The Natural History of Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve. A 134 page handbook including species list and a natural history hike. Available at the UC Davis Bookstore, Bogey's, or the Naturalist in Davis.
