The Putah Creek Riparian Reserve is a 640-acre natural riparian and grassland ecosystem located along the southern edge of the UC Davis campus. Maintained and operated by the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden, the Reserve serves as a valuable resource for teaching, research, wildlife and habitat protection, and community engagement.
Visitors to the Reserve can explore this rare riparian habitat through recreational activities such as fishing, boating, swimming, and hiking. The Reserve is a model for riparian restoration in California and offers a glimpse into what the UC Davis Arboretum was like before the university was established. With a focus on restoring and preserving this unique ecosystem, the Reserve plays a crucial role in conservation efforts and serves as an inspiration for ongoing restoration projects.
