In Spring and Summer of 2025, UCSC Undergraduate Jasper Lusson was sponsored by UCSC Fort Ord Natural Reserve and UCSC CAMINO (The Center to Advance Mentored, Inquiry-Based Opportunities) to work on an art and science collaboration. Jasper set out to document unique natural history and the research and education value of the UCSC Fort Ord Natural Reserve in Marina, CA. The film presents a nice glimpse of the flora and fauna at the reserve, viewed through one student’s exploration and encounters with researchers and staff onsite. Please enjoy the film below!
