The CCB-SEEDS Student Research Gear Closet (SRGC) at UC Riverside makes field science more accessible for everyone. Created by the Center for Conservation Biology (CCB) graduate student group in collaboration with SEEDS, the SRGC provides students with the clothing and gear they need at no cost to feel safe, comfortable, and prepared during outdoor research or field courses. With field essentials like clothing, tents, boots, backpacks, gaiters, and more, the SRGC is all about removing barriers so more students can take part in career-building fieldwork experiences.
We'd love your support! If you have lightly used or new gear you'd like to donate, we're currently accepting items like cold-weather coats, boots (women's size 6-9 and men's 9-13), field clothes (women's and men's sizes 4-8 and S-L), sunscreen, and even a foldable utility cart. Monetary donations also go a long way, we stretch every dollar to fill the biggest gaps in our inventory. To learn more about renting gear or supporting the closet, check out the official SRGC website or reach out to Ally (arich065@ucr.edu) or Miranda (mbuck070@ucr.edu), we'd be happy to hear from you!
