Research
Researchers should submit individual permit applications and proposals at least four weeks in advance to study the serpentine grassland,
and two weeks in advance for work in other communities. The Preserve's executive director and advisory committee must approve all research proposals before work begins.
The Staff Scientist reviews the applications to ensure that proposed projects will neither conflict with ongoing work nor compromise the integrity of the Preserve or the future health of its habitats. Projects that involve experimental manipulations are reviewed on a case-by-case basis; in general, manipulations must be small either in scale or effect. To lessen impacts to the serpentine grassland and other sensitive areas, research policies emphasize the use of less intrusive field markers and techniques, replacing them where possible by remote approaches. Education
Educational use applications are accepted for college-level classes only and
preference will be given to field classes and Stanford University Classes.
Instructors should schedule class visits at least two weeks in advance.
JRBP regulations must be followed at all times and students must
be accompanied by a JRBP permit holder at all times.
Bio 96 (Docent Program)
Developed in 1975, the Docent Program now consists of close to 100 Stanford students and community members, some of whom have
participated since the program's beginning. Docents undergo rigorous training through formal Stanford courses and take part in
a regular seminar series designed to enhance their understanding of the site's history, ecology, and current research.
In addition to leading thousands of visitor on tours each year, docents undertake a variety of special projects that aid
research and instructional use. More about the Bio 96 (Docent Program).
Student Ranger Program
The Ranger program at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve is an opportunity for students and community members to participate in
