Woodland Regional Park
With the motto “To inspire wonder of nature nearby,” the
Woodland Regional Park will soon welcome visitors to a brand new, 160 acre riparian nature park in Woodland.
This project shows how community-based conservation may be one of the most durable ways to protect and enjoy nature. In particular, the project partners aim to put responsibility and authority in the hands of the community that benefits from it. This habitat restoration project is led by
The City of Woodland,

UC Davis Arboretum
The
UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden spans the campus’s more than 5,000 acres and includes the historic Arboretum – a 100-plus acre amenity comprised of demonstration gardens and scientific collections as well as the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve – a rare stream and grassland ecosystem managed for teaching, research, wildlife and habitat protection.
Equal parts teaching, advocacy, and recreational attraction, the Arboretum is an example of UC Davis’ food and ag leadership for our region and the world.
Woodland Water-Wise Landscape
Each spring the City of Woodland features environmentally-friendly landscapes in the Water-Wise Landscape Tour. These yards are filled with color from beautiful plants well-suited to our Mediterranean climate including California natives, succulents, low-water grasses, and cacti.
Contact the City of Woodland’s Environmental Services for information on how to transform your garden to a more water-wise landscape.
Woodland City Hall Entryway
In October 2020, City Hall began to transform its front lawn into a pollinator and water-wise landscape. The transition away from grass and towards pollinator and drought-tolerant plants will increase biodiversity, reduce water consumption, and serve as a demonstration garden for our community.
Main Street Pollinator Corridor
In May 2020, the City of Woodland enhanced 12 street corners and one median on Main Street by making them urban pollination corridors.
These areas filled with pollinator-friendly plants aim to increase available pollinator habitat within the City, consistent with Woodland’s status as a
Bee City USA.
