Barbara County, due south of the City of Santa Barbara, and twenty miles

The NRS mission is to support research, education and public service, and

These stakeholders include donors, volunteers, user groups, state and

include researchers, university classes, outreach groups, volunteers and
K-12 school groups.



The Reserve Director is responsible for programmatic and facilities planning
and implementation, and working with the UCSB Development Office on
cultivating and maintaining relationships with current and prospective
donors.  The Director reports to the UCSB NRS Executive Director, and

management.

following areas is required: administration and budget management, staff
