Research in Big Sur

Above Left: The Whale Point Research Cabin, located within the Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve, is available by reservation for university or government researchers working in the area. The roof in the foreground is the Steward’s Cabin, where one of the full-time caretaker-researchers lives.

Above Right: Ty sprays disinfectant on the bottom of Krystal’s shoes. Because of the threat of sudden oak death, we were required to clean the vehicles and disinfect our shoes each day before re-entering the reserve.
