Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve

To understand our planet’s ecosystems and how they are changing under human pressures.  Through research, conservation and education, Cedar Creek strives to increase understanding and bridge the gaps between science, community and government.  Ongoing projects include studies of biodiversity—the number of different species living in an area, from the tiniest bacteria to the largest animals and most massive trees. Also, large-scale experiments at Cedar Creek examine how environmental changes are affecting the globe.
