Mission
A student-run organization dedicated to propagating, planting, and promoting the planting of native plants in and around Davis. Our goal is to foster a better understanding of our native biodiversity among students and the general public through participatory events, including organized planting and educational outreach. We hope to increase the sustainability of Davis's urban ecosystem by planting native, drought tolerant species. Increasing local plant biodiversity can provide better habitat for insects and by extension, breeding and migratory birds. We also hope that by discouraging the planting of nonnative vegetation, we can decrease the risk of new invasive plants or pathogens being introduced to the area.

The Environmental Project Team builds a water treatment system for the competition but also builds knowledge, confidence, and friendships. Participants in the Environmental Project get exposure to the Environmental Engineering field; providing practical engineering design experience, project management skills, teamwork, and many other skills not found in school. During the competition, the project is judged on sustainability, treatment efficiency, cost, and an oral presentation. Team members conduct research into possible water treatment technologies, test raw and treated water, design and construct the water treatment system, and prepare a presentation. All aspects of the project are run by students from the beginning of the school year culminating in the ASCE Mid-Pacific Regional Conference (Mid-Pac) in late April.
