On April 15, the UC Davis Department of Human Ecology hosted a site visit from the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board as part of the re-accreditation process for the university’s Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture program. While accreditation visits are a formal step in maintaining program standards, this one also served as a celebration of student creativity, collaboration, and sustainability in action.
As we prepare for our annual spring fundraising campaign, we wanted to give you an update on how vital community donations are. Last year, the UC Davis and regional communities came together to support the Trees for Tomorrow campaign, ensuring that our campus continues to thrive with a diverse and resilient tree canopy. Thanks to generous donations, dedicated volunteers, and passionate student leaders, we have made remarkable strides in planting new trees, enhancing campus landscapes, and creating opportunities for hands-on learning.
The Arboretum and Public Garden is one of ten campus collections participating in UC Davis Biodiversity Museum Day. This year, we invite you to experience the best of both worlds: spend your morning exploring the fascinating indoor museums, then head outdoors in the afternoon to enjoy the Arboretum and Public Garden’s vibrant, nature-filled exhibits.
Mara Feldman, an environmental science and management major, joined the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden’s Learning by Leading™ internship program to further her plant knowledge and gain hands-on experience. Along the way, she developed valuable leadership skills.
