What to do about the Arboretum waterway? This is a question that has been asked for the last 30 years. The historic North Fork of Putah Creek was cut off from
the rest of the stream in 1874. In the 1950s, it was reshaped into the long, shallow pond that it is today. As essential infrastructure for the UC Davis storm water
system, the waterway serves a very distinct purpose; however, it can be so much more. Hear about the plans to make the waterway into an urban wildlife area, to flow again, and turn what has been an overlooked resource into a regional jewel. Hear about the new designs for the waterway, the timeline for implementation and what this will mean for residents in the region.
