  We have conducted deep JHKs imaging polarimetry of a ~8' x 8' area of the NGC
2071 star forming region. Our polarization data have revealed various infrared
reflection nebulae (IRNe) associated with the central IR young star cluster
NGC2071IR and identified their illuminating sources. There are at least 4 IRNe
in NGC2071IR and several additional IRNe are identified around nearby young
stars in the same field-of-view. Each illuminating source coincides with a
known near-IR source except for IRS3, which is only a part of IRN2 and is
illuminated by the radio source 1c. Aperture polarimetry of each cluster source
is used to detect unresolved circumstellar disk/outflow systems. Aperture
polarimetry of the other point-like sources within the field is made in this
region for the first time. The magnetic field structures (from ~1 pc down to
\~0.1 pc) are derived using both aperture polarimetry of the point-like sources
and imaging polarimetry of the shocked H2 emission that is seen as the dominant
knotty nebulae in the Ks band image; they are both of dichroic origin and the
derived field directions are consistent with each other. The magnetic field
direction projected on the sky is also consistent with that inferred from the
850 micron thermal continuum emission polarimetry of the central 0.2 pc region,
but running roughly perpendicular (~75 degrees) to the direction of the large
scale outflow. We argue that the field strength is too weak to align the
outflow in the large scale field direction via magnetic braking.
