Research at Galindo Creek Field Station
Galindo Creek Field Station offers faculty with an on-site area suitable for scientific research. As East Bay creeks have been seriously compromised by damming, stream bed alteration, dumping, the introduction of non-native plant species, and other consequences of urban development, creek restoration and continuous stewardship presents the university with a practical problem that requires practical solutions—one that provides faculty with an opportunity to engage their students in experiential learning.
Furthermore, the development of a field station at Cal State East Bay reinforces the California State University’s 2014 Sustainability Policy, which launched the “ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ as Living Lab” (CALL) grant program. The program has as its primary goal the partnering of interested faculty and facilities operations staff to “work together to incorporate a specific university challenge into the curricula of courses.”
