Randall Morgan Initiative
Randall Morgan dedicated his life to studying birds, plants and insects of Santa Cruz County and advocating for protection of local biodiversity hot spots and imperiled species. The Randall Morgan Initiative aims to honor, preserve, and build upon the legacy of Morgan’s work as a local naturalist and conservationist. It provides for long-term stewardship of his collections and affords UCSC students the opportunity to develop their natural history skills and participate in local species and habitat conservation efforts.

The Morgan Initiative supports undergraduate students, graduate students, and community members to carry on Morgan’s legacy.
