About the Project

The West Village Open Space Project will create an agricultural buffer between the West Village residential area and the nearby teaching and research fields. This buffer will help manage stormwater and support native wildlife on the west campus. The project includes the construction of a meandering gravel walking path, installation of irrigation infrastructure, soil relocation, fencing, and the planting of approximately 4.75 acres of native landscapes in partnership with the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden.
