Bioregion
A bioregion is a place defined by ecological and geographic characteristics, particularly based on watershed boundaries. It is also an approach to understanding the relationships between people and the landscape they inhabit. We have used the bioregion concept as a way to understand the University in its region, to study the region's physical, natural, social, and cultural characteristics, and to increase the appreciation of and engagement in the region on the part of university and community members. The Putah-Cache Bioregion Project is a long-term project, but we also are interested in the nature and culture of other California regions: the California Delta, the Sierra Nevada, and the Central Valley.

Putah-Cache Bioregion ProjectThis collaborative and interdisciplinary project increases local awareness of and interaction with the Putah and Cache Creek Watersheds and the Sacramento Valley Bioregion. This is the area in which UC Davis is located. Over the years many faculty, students, and community members have contributed to the project's development and have participated in its activities, research, and products.
