A unique center of multi-disciplinary research and life-long learning
The Reynolds Field Station for Education and Science Research provides researchers, educators, and students with the opportunity to access an extraordinary and under-studied natural history environment for the benefit of current and future generations’ scientific inspiration and understanding.
The Reynolds Field Station is situated on 320 acres of exquisite wilderness in Catron County, New Mexico. The rugged topography hosts pristine forests with abundant wildlife. The land provides a broad spectrum of scientifically significant research and education opportunities in geology, paleontology, biology, archaeology and astronomy, to name just a few!
Professional research at the Reynolds Field Station is conducted as interdependent collaborations between multiple disciplines and institutions. Our current programs involve graduate students and professional staff from universities and museums. We anticipate continuing program expansion each year, as field exploration and research exposes more “Big Science Questions” each season.
Our education and outreach programs invite learners of all ages to immerse themselves in the wonderment of the natural world and the many sciences to explore at the Reynolds Field Station. We are developing programs with our partner institutions for grades K-12, undergraduate university students, citizen scientists, families and senior citizens, to inspire science learning.
Reynolds Field Station provides leadership and support to Friends of Field Camps, a national alliance of professional societies and foundations, government agencies, geoscience faculty, and industry partners taking coordinated action to help geoscience field camps and field education in the US survive and thrive.
To provide access to a science research and field station in an extraordinary, under-studied natural history environment for inter- and multi-disciplinary exploration, research and learning. The Reynolds Field Station exists to enhance the scientific understanding of current and future generations of researchers, students, educators, institutions and the public.
A permanent world-class facility where a collegial cohort of constituents educates and conducts research in interdependent collaborations that leverage the strengths of multiple disciplines.
We foresee new generations of learners gaining experience in and appreciation of the value of bridging expertise from different disciplines and institutions.
Create opportunities that promote life-long learning, for learners from K-12 to senior citizens, in natural world immersions.
