Project description:
This project converts an unused site by the UC Davis Airport into a hedgerow planting. The planting consists primarily of two parts: a section of native grasses and a pollinator garden. The hedgerow provides a range of tangible, quantifiable ecosystem benefits such as pollination, carbon sequestration, erosion control, and native habitat. The hedgerow can be seen along the Olive Tree Lane/ Bee Biology Road bike path, North of the University Airport.
