About the Preserve
Stanford University’s Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve (JRBP) is in the eastern foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, about five miles southwest of the main campus. The preserve encompasses remarkable geologic, topographic, and biotic diversity within its 483 hectares (1,193 acres) and provides a natural laboratory for researchers from all over the world, educational experiences to students and docent-led visitors, and refuge to native plants and animals.
Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve is pleased to announce the creation of a new award that will recognize students who have engaged in meaningful environmental education activities at or related to Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve.
