Less than half a mile from the recently revitalized west end of the Arboretum Waterway, the dry north channel of Putah Creek is experiencing its own metamorphosis. Here, Arboretum and Public Garden Senior Environmental Steward Miles DaPrato and Learning by Leading™ Ecological Land Management interns are engaged in a years-long habitat restoration effort.
Mara Feldman, an environmental science and management major, joined the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden’s Learning by Leading™ internship program to further her plant knowledge and gain hands-on experience. Along the way, she developed valuable leadership skills.
