Description Located in the middle of Plumas National Forest, U. C. Camp provides an unique opportunity to study the biota, soils, and geology of the Feather River County. The properties comprise 120 acres of mixed conifer forestland with a northern exposure. The site is representative of highly productive forestland surrounding the Camp on Plumas National Forest.
Several streams pass through the property.
Dominant Usage U.C. Berkeley undergraduate and graduate instruction is the primary use for this facility, and most usage revolves around the 8-week summer camp forestry program. Opportunity for limited research exists, while an expanding program of off-season usage makes the facility popular for use by a wide variety of groups. Manipulation of the stand is limited due to the location of structures in this old-growth forest. Excellent roads open to Plumas National Forest and make both recreation and research available to the camp resident. History Baker Forest and U. C. Forestry Camp have been in use since 1917.
