The Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum Board voted in February to officially change the name of their organization to Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden. Board Co-President Martha Ozonoff says: “We believe this name change is important as a symbol of the solidarity of the Friends group with the mission and scope of the wonderful organization we support.”
On October 19, Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum Board President Nancy Shapiro along with her husband Howard, hosted a kick-off celebration in honor of the Arboretum’s 75th anniversary. The evening was a wonderful way to look back at the history of the Arboretum with many of the people integral to its growth and look forward to a strong future as we embark on a campus-wide public garden project.
We are very excited to announce a generous endowment of $25,000 (built through a pledge of $5,000/year over five years) from our long-time friends and supporters, Bret Hewitt and Deb Pinkerton. In addition, they have pledged $10,000 in current use gifts over the next five years.
