Use of both the Arboretum and the San Joaquin Marsh is restricted to scheduled events and approved use for the purposes of research, teaching, and public service. Once applications are approved, management staff will distribute gate codes and facilitate scheduling and user needs for activities. Applications for activities and reservations may be made through the UC Natural Reserve System online reservation portal (RAMS).
Within the boundaries of the San Joaquin Marsh, there are no facilities and there is no Wi-Fi reception. However, most phones should be able to use cellular data.
Restrooms and water are available at the UCI Arboretum office. There is also a shaded outdoor seating space with tables nearby that can comfortably seat ten people.
