Project description:

The UC Davis Student Leadership in Green Infrastructure (SLGI) group collaborates with Davis Senior High School students, teachers, and staff to design and implement the Davis Senior High School Rain Garden demonstration project at a key location on the high school campus. The space floods during the rainy season, has significant pedestrian circulation, erosion, and soil compaction issues and currently lacks any significant planning to promote biodiversity and habitat value. The redesign of this space has a 1,150 square foot rain garden designed to capture impervious area runoff from nearby sidewalks and rooftops, solve site circulation and erosion problems, and create an aesthetically-pleasing landscape area that can adapt to both drought and wet conditions.
