Less than half a mile from the recently revitalized west end of the Arboretum Waterway, the dry north channel of Putah Creek is experiencing its own metamorphosis. Here, Arboretum and Public Garden Senior Environmental Steward Miles DaPrato and Learning by Leading™ Ecological Land Management interns are engaged in a years-long habitat restoration effort.
This season, a coordinated effort led by Facilities Management and the Arboretum and Public Garden’s Grounds team, is giving building entrances across campus a much-needed refresh, with a combination of pressure washing and landscape touch-ups.
Located near Putah Creek Lodge and overlooking the newly enhanced Arboretum Waterway, a once-forgotten boathouse is making waves again — but this time, not with canoes.
Four Learning by Leading™ students were awarded the Pinkerton Prize for Outstanding Student Contributions for going above and beyond in their roles as interns to support the Arboretum and Public Garden.
