The Lassen Field Station is a partnership between Lassen Volcanic National Park and the Natural Reserve System. The field station links researchers and classes with the spectacular volcanic landscapes of the Lassen region. The National Park is surrounded by a vast area of National Forest, which also hosts active research and management programs. Lassen Field Station is the only outpost of the Natural Reserve System in far northern California. Researchers and instructors can work with UC Davis and National Park Service staff to tailor logistics of their visits and to ensure conformation with application and permitting requirements.

Researchers have nearly unlimited opportunity to share their work with audiences that include Park resource staff and public visitors to the Park. Citizen Science projects are underway in the area around the main visitor center. Local schools also integrate the Park into their curricula, offering pathways for researchers to reach K-12 audiences.
