A graphic map of the Tanbark facilities is available. The site is located at an elevation of about 2700 ft., in a wooded riparian zone, surrounded by chaparral-covered slopes. The buildings, roads, and watercourses at Tanbark include some very unique designs, rockwork, and architecture from the 1930s. The San Dimas Lysimeter facility was constructed to study soil and water usage by plants. Click here to view historic photos of its construction.
Overnight facilities are available for visiting researchers and scientists, at a nominal fee.
There is also a modestly equipped Laboratory available for use. For more information on availability or overnight arrangements, contact the SDEF Manager.
