Poetic Peramulations
We have a poetry anthology of writers from the university, community and local schools in the Arboretum. It is called "Where I Walk: Poetic Peramulations in the UC Davis Arboretum". We published it a few years ago after having an artist-in-residence, Maria Melendez, develop a writers community for three years in the Arboretum. It is in our library if you want to check it out!

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my
Everyone loves animals, right? Unless you have a fear of all living things or suffer from the worst alergies in the world, chances are that you'll find some kind of animal that you'd like to learn more about in the Arboretum. From turtles to rodents to fuzzy cute rabbits, there's a wide array of animal species to choose from. We'll take a look at the animals of the Arboretum (except for ducks, don't worry) and find out about their history there. When and where did they come from? What role do they play in the history of the Arboretum? Does the arboretum staff care for them? Many more questions are to come, I know you're excited for the outcome.
