The latest addition to the UC Natural Reserve System and Berkeley Natural History Museums, Blue Oak Ranch Reserve, was gifted to the University last December. It comprises 3,260 acres of ecologically diverse oak woodland savanna situated on the west slope of Mt Hamilton between the city of San Jose and Joseph Grant County Park. Reserve Director Mike Hamilton has already installed a new wireless network to provide virtual access to real-time environmental sensors, a user-controllable webcam, and the capacity to support future wireless connections to networked instrumentation throughout the reserves ecosystems.
