UC Davis Oaks Forever!

Help save UC Davis Oaks Forever!

The mighty oaks are among UC Davis’s most iconic and beloved features, framing the Quad, Memorial Union, campus entryways and major thoroughfares while providing shade, beauty and essential habitat for wildlife. 

Through the UC Davis Oaks Fund, the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden is working year-round to conserve and protect campus oaks for generations to come. As climate pressures increase, proactive care, education and stewardship are essential to ensuring these trees continue to thrive.

Your support helps sustain this long-term commitment to preserving UC Davis’s living landscape.
