Tree Resources
At the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden, we’re all about trees!
It all starts with our name—"Arboretum" comes from the latin "arbor" meaning "tree," and "-etum," meaning "place." Today, arboreta such as ours serve as living museums with a wide range of plant collections for study and public enjoyment.
With all of the UC Davis campus as our "public garden," we have a lot of trees to care for, over 26,000, in fact!
With a long history of stewarding trees, in locations such as the Peter J. Shields Oak Grove and the T. Elliot Weier Redwood Grove, we are grateful for the ways that these beautiful, natural resources work alongside us to accomplish our fundamental purpose—helping both people and environments thrive.
What You'll Find Here
Just as trees inspire us to be better environmental stewards, we hope these resources inspire you to learn more about all that trees do for our communities, and how we can return the favor.
We invite you to witness and take part in the stewardship of our community's urban forest. Join us in taking a proactive approach to managing our canopy while it matures in a changing climate. Use these resources to learn how you can contribute, one tree at a time!
