La Kretz Center for California Conservation Science

University of California, Los Angeles

Thank you for your interest in staying at the La Kretz Center. However, we are unable to accept your reservation at this time.

Due to property renovations being undertaken by our partner institution, the US National Park Service, the UCLA La Kretz Center for California Science Field Station at Rocky Oaks will be temporarily closed and not accepting reservations for the remainder of 2023 and at least the first part of 2024. We hope to continue having guests stay at the field station sometime in 2024. If you have any questions about the La Kretz Center's temporary closure, including alternative accommodation while you conduct field research, please contact the Assistant Director, David Blake, at dblake0405@g.ucla.edu or the Faculty Director, Brad Shaffer, at brad.shaffer@ucla.edu

We appreciate our interest in our field station and hope you will continue to consider our field station for future visits.

Thank you,
La Kretz Center Administration
