About the Field Station

The Galindo Creek Field Station serves as a biological research site dedicated for use by ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ faculty, students and community partners.  Here we are able to teach, learn, and live as stewards of lands forming an important part of the Mount Diablo Foothills.

Located along a 2,000-foot-long stretch of Galindo Creek, the habitat provides for dozens of species including deer, coyote, bobcat, rabbit and squirrel, as well as a variety of reptiles, amphibians, and birds. Most are native species, including the dusky-footed woodrat, a rodent appearing on California’s threatened species list.   

The Galindo Creek Field Station mission is to communicate and educate, fostering a sense of ecological resilience while finding innovative solutions for the environmental challenges facing our community today.
