About

UC Oaks provides science-based information on California’s oak woodland ecology, management, and conservation. It is a repository of over 30 years of science-based research and outreach conducted during 1986 to 2010 by the UC Integrated Hardwood Range Management Program (IHRMP), a collaboration among the University of California, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Contacts for More Information on Oak Woodlands

Several key research and outreach functions of the Integrated Hardwood Range Management Program have been continued by members of the Oak Woodland Conservation Workgroup. Members of the Oak Woodland Conservation Workgroup include UC Specialists that were formerly part of the IHRMP; campus faculty whose programs include range, wildlife, and forestry management; and county-based Livestock, Natural Resource, and Horticulture Advisors working on various oak issues. You are welcome to contact these oak experts directly with questions that relate to their specific expertise.
