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.
Martin Rizzo-Martinez, author of “We Are Not Animals” – an indigenous history of Santa Cruz, & Kate Jaffe, Executive Director of Santa Cruz Kids In Nature and graduate student in UCSC Environmental Art and Social Practice MFA program.
