The  Firestone Reserve is managed to minimize user impact. All research proposals are reviewed by the Management Committee, whose decisions are guided by the research agenda.  Proposals should be carefully designed to contribute to the goals of the research agenda, and must not conflict with other approved research projects. 

Claremont Undergraduates:         Each summer, The Joint Science Department sponsors a number of funded summer research opportunities for undergraduate students.  We will consider applications form students at any of the 5 Claremont Colleges We anticipate 4 slots in 2006.  These research projects do not require prior experience of ecological fieldwork, but do demand a high level of enthusiasm and commitment. Applicants do not need to be science majors. Research topics vary from year to year, but are focused on baseline biodiversity assessments and associated studies of the changing biotic and abiotic environment. 

Applications are solicited in the Fall semester.
