Glen Cove Waterfront Enhancement Project

The Glen Cove Waterfront Park Enhancement Project began in 2021 and continues its goal is to enhance the diversity of native plants that have cultural value and wildlife habitat in the park. Funding for this project is provided by Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation.

The future of this project includes the installation of interpretive signage regarding the established plants, including their cultural values and significance to wildlife. This installation is planned to occur in 2026. There will also be ongoing weed control and some additional planting and seeding.

    This project is a group effort made possible through coordination with the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, the Vallejo Watershed Alliance, the Greater Vallejo Recreation District, and other partners. Numerous volunteers at events over the years have also helped accomplish this project. The Greater Vallejo Recreation District manages this site, and Solano RCD is coordinating our work with them.

    If you are interested in volunteering, or if you have specific questions or concerns relating to the project or the vegetation management at Glen Cove Waterfront Park, please feel free to reach out to John Woodruff  707-678-1655 x 120 or

    As of 2025:

    • Over 100 plant species have been planted and/or seeded at the site. If you are interested in the plant list, see the following link: https://calscape.org/myplantlist/46747
    • Existing native plant landscaping around the parking lot and paths has been revamped and nearly 1,000 shrubs and forbs have been installed.
    • At the slope adjacent to South Regatta Dr, nearly 1,000 native shrubs and vines have been planted, along with about 1,000 perennial wildflowers.
    • The riparian corridor has been expanded and planted with more than 1,000 native shrubs, vines, and perennial wildflowers.
    • More than 3,000 perennial grasses, wildflowers, shrubs, and vines have been planted along the waterfront slopes.
    • 15,000 native perennial wildflowers and grasses have been planted in various areas but largely concentrated into “pollinator pods” and the “demonstration meadow” areas. Most of these were planted as plugs or bulbs.
    • In 2024, most of the open areas at the park were seeded with a native wildflower mix. Early flowering annual wildflowers were especially selected so that they can go to seed before being mowed in the late spring. Perennial wildflowers that do well with mowing were also included.
