About Friends of the North Davis Channel:
Once a mere drainage channel, bordering North Davis for 1.5 miles, from Sycamore Lane to F Street, the North Davis Channel (affectionately known as the Ditch) has become a verdant open space park enjoyed every day by hikers, dog walkers, bikers, runners and bird and wildlife enthusiasts. With support from a state grant, the City of Davis, the Putah Creek Council, the Yolo County Resource Conservation District and a raft of volunteers the channel has been planted throughout with native plants that provide cover and home to wildlife, partially cleared of invasive species plants and improved with interpretive panels, bird boxes and a footpath. The Friends of the North Davis Channel has been formed to provide volunteer support and a vehicle for assisting in protection and continued improvement of this wonderful resource to the Davis Community. Please wear weather appropriate clothing, sturdy shoes, and bring a reusable water bottle.
Please do not attend any PCC volunteer event if you have had a COVID-19 exposure or are experiencing any COVID or cold/flu symptoms. For any questions about this event please contact Rachel Snodgrass (rachel@putahcreekcouncil.org).
