Over 100 acres of beautiful teaching and research plant collections at the UC Davis Arboretum weave through the middle of the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) campus. These gardens—built with the help and enthusiasm of UC Davis students, faculty, staff and the Davis community—follow along inviting bike and pedestrian paths for nearly two miles. The UC Davis Arboretum is a living museum that is completely unfenced and open to the public every day of the year. With frequently-offered, free family events, ranging from plant sales and science cafes to musical and theatrical performances, the UC Davis Arboretum is a popular and inexpensive destination for people in the Sacramento region. UC Davis is widely recognized as one of the greenest campuses in the United States—it has been celebrated as a #1 Cool School by the Sierra Club! Today we are building out an even bolder vision: an entire campus that encourages and showcases the current understanding—based on the research developed by UC Davis experts—of how to build the most beautiful, sustainable landscapes possible. The lessons learned at the UC Davis Arboretum are being extended across the entire 5,300-acre campus! A new coalition has formed around this exciting initiative called the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden. In these new spaces, UC Davis students have the opportunity to share all that they are learning with the community. Our students’ efforts are transforming the entire campus into an inviting, interactive, and sustainable showcase of UC Davis for the public. There is nothing else like it at botanic gardens or universities nationwide! Most importantly, the community is a critical part of transforming the campus landscapes and educational programs. We welcome you to join us! Together, we can redesign our campus to be an even stronger, more beautiful public space that will be a vibrant center of learning and discovery for our students, our faculty, and our campus visitors.

The UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden is a living laboratory for our students, and alumna Elizabeth Mary Wolf (’72) had a sincere passion for education. It was my great honor to participate in the?Elizabeth Mary Wolf Environmental Learning Center ribbon cutting last week and help officially open this space named for her. I sincerely enjoyed meeting Elizabeth’s friends and learning more about her deep desire to make a difference in the lives of students. How wonderful it is that the University of California, Davis could be part of her legacy.? ? My heartfelt thanks to the Wolf family and our many wonderful donors for their love and support of this new center, and of the Arboretum and Public Garden. The Arboretum’s outstanding public service and educational excellence is thanks to the vision and dedication of Kathleen Socolofsky and the hard work of her fabulous team.
