Sagehen Creek Field Station is a research and teaching facility of the University of California at Berkeley's Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, the Berkeley Natural History Museums & the University of California Natural Reserve System. Sagehen is also a member of the Organization of Biological Field Stations.

The Station was established in 1951 with the signing of a long-term special use permit with the USDA Forest Service; today, this relationship includes the Tahoe National Forest which manages the land, & the Pacific Southwest Research Station, which created the Sagehen Experimental Forest on Nov. 28, 2005.

Sagehen serves as the hub of a much broader network of research areas known as the Central Sierra Field Research Stations.[1] CSFRS consists of:

  • Sagehen Creek Field Station
  • Central Sierra Snow Lab
  • Onion Creek Experimental Watershed
  • Chickering American Reserve
  • North Fork Association Lands

The Station is not generally open to the public. However, Sagehen hosts periodic public events.[2]

Sagehen also maintains a public news blog[3] and video log.[4]
