Conducting research at Paradise Reserve

Research in all fields are accepted at Paradise Reserve, as long as they don’t impact the natural environment.  

 Below is a list of project ideas.

1) Create a lidar elevation model of the Reserve, including the two watersheds.

2) Develop a detailed habitat and major vegetation maps.

3) Map sensitive species.

4) Evaluate movement of wildlife along corridors, particularly the creeks, trails, and fire breaks.

5) Monitor oak die-off and recruitment.

6) Understand the effect of invasive grasses on wildflowers, in understory and open areas. 

7) Assist with the insect monitoring, sorting, and identification.
