Project Overview

Hedgerow I is installed alongside Hills drive and Campbell drive. The project is led by the SmartLandscape team and affiliated WCAE staff. This border hedgerow project demonstrates the use of native plant species including grasses, shrubs, and small trees as a wildlife and pollinator species refuge. It also serves to reduce erosion and runoff from the adjoining roads while providing other ecosystem benefits.

This hedgerow demonstration project will be showcased to UC Davis partners, neighboring farms, and land managers in efforts to suppress weed populations, benefit wildlife, increase water infiltration, and promote low water-use local native plant species in landscapes across Davis and other communities.
