Remembering Where the Arboretum Comes From
Check this out: Putah Creek and the other not mentioned proximal bodies of water all contributed to the history and flourishing of Yolo, Solano and other surrounding areas economically, socially and otherwise. Would it not be wise to investigate into the lives and experiences associated with the shaping of Davis - our degree bearing hometown - and not to mention one of largest agricultural production centers in the modern world ( Come on! We feed the entire nation 80 varieties of fruits and vegetables exclusive to California) ? How exactly does the now stagnant body of water centered in the Arboretum fit into all of this? My idea is to uncover/rediscover just that! Wowee!

sounds good Carlos, the water does look gross and green, i wonder why it doesnt seem to move much too! I guess we may find out....
Interesting... This would be a really good project to utilize maps. I'm still curious about the swim tank that I noticed on the map that was connected to a channel parallel to Putah Creek. What other kinds of resources were you thinking about using?
Sounds like it'll take some expansive research, but it's cool seeing you get into the real roots of what shaped the space physically and conceptually.
