  Sagehen Creek Field Station is a research & teaching facility of the University of California at Berkeley.
  
  The Field Station was established in 1951 with the signing of a long-term special use permit between the University of California & the US Forest Service.
  
  Today, this relationship includes the Tahoe National Forest which manages the land, & the Pacific Southwest Research Station, which created the Sagehen Experimental Forest on Nov. 28, 2005.
  
  Over 90 Ph.D. & Masters theses & hundreds of research publications have resulted from work done at Sagehen. Major fields of inquiry include wildlife, fisheries, botany, hydrology, forest fire & climate change.
  
  Keep in mind that Sagehen, like all field research stations, is not a hotel. It is a bare-bones remote facility that allows people to embed themselves in a natural environment in order to pursue research and/or education into that ecosystem. Think "glamping".
  
  Just 2.6 employees oversee 18,000 user days a year. User fees go entirely to keeping up the station, but don't even come close to paying the bills: your stay is heavily subsidized. There's no housekeeping staff: this is is communal living, and you are expected to be gentle on the place and leave it cleaner than you found it.
