Spring is more than just a season, it’s also a source of water, and we’ll be quenching your thirst for knowledge.
Join authors Kate Jaffe and Martin Rizzo-Martinez as they daylight the stories of the buried spring network that weaves under the streets and through the neighborhoods of the Westside of Santa Cruz.
These waterways are central to the long history of Santa Cruz and connect UCSC to Cowells through a vibrant yet hidden riparian ecology. Come to learn about the pre-colonial history of these local springs, the many creatures who live along the waterways still today, and how we can engage in preserving health and access to this ecological and cultural resource.
