Tell me about the Arboretum
The UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden is a comprehensive environmental and educational resource that spans over 5,300 acres of the UC Davis campus. It was formed in July 2011 through the merger of the Arboretum, Grounds and Landscape Services, and the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve. This expansive area includes the historic Arboretum, which is a 100-plus acre space featuring demonstration gardens and scientific collections, as well as the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve, a unique stream and grassland ecosystem used for teaching, research, and habitat protection 1.
The purpose of the Arboretum and Public Garden is to inspire human potential and promote environmental stewardship. It serves as an outdoor museum and living laboratory, showcasing sustainable landscape practices and horticultural knowledge. The Arboretum also collaborates with various academic departments, environmental agencies, and researchers to support teaching and research initiatives. Additionally, it engages the community through volunteer opportunities, educational programs, and public events, fostering environmental leadership and awareness 1.
