The Stone Center at UC Berkeley teaches, trains and learns from students, faculty, and colleagues across the UC Berkeley campus and beyond to cultivate current and future generations of conservation leaders. 

The Stone Center is housed in the Rausser College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley. Rausser College has been an academic leader in the natural and social sciences for over 50 years. Critical to the Stone Center’s success is the ability to convene, draw from, and teach students and faculty in this world-class program. The college is ranked 3rd for environmental science graduate programs and 6th for undergraduate programs nationwide. 

We help train undergraduates via our Living Labs so that they can gain real-world experience in conservation. We provide the campus community with opportunities to learn from experts in the field through workshops, speaker series, and more. In the future, we have plans to support faculty development through seminar series, workshops, and by developing curricula to support interdisciplinary instruction. We also plan to offer graduate student training programs and post-doctoral fellowships.
