Butte Creek Ecological Preserve

Support the Reserves

Give a Gift

Donations throughout the year support our outdoor education programs, student research, and restoration efforts.

A donation of $150 can pay for a bus for 2 classes from Chico or Paradise to participate in one of our field trips. Without your support, many of these young students would never experience a healthy, living, natural ecosystem.

Your support also provides funding to University students conducting research at the BCCER. The goal of the student research grant program is to promote undergraduate and graduate student research projects at the Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve and Butte Creek Ecological Preserve. Contact Executive Director Eli Goodsell at egoodsell@csuchico.edu or call 530-898-5010 to inquire about how you can help.
