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.
