Based in Davis, CA, Tree Davis has worked to improve and protect the urban forests of Yolo County since 1992. We leverage scientific research from our board members, our partners at our local academic institution and government agencies, and unify that with community based action and a long term vision to ensure that our communities become healthier for everyone and everything that lives in those spaces.
Tree Davis was founded by civic leaders and community members to ensure future generations enjoyed the benefits of trees. Trees cool our neighborhoods, lower air pollution, increase biodiversity, control storm water, increase home values and help us feel happy and healthy. As the impacts of climate change become clearer in the Central Valley, the role of strong urban and community forests as front-line defenses are apparent and necessary. Trees act as critical green infrastructure that can ensure our communities are livable, resilient and healthy!
Today Tree Davis seeks to make our communities more “Climate-Ready.” Using field-tested research, we plant and nurture the trees that will be best for our region’s future, ensuring that the trees that stand tall 50 years from now are drought tolerant and disease resistant. We take the long term view through our efforts. Not only are we thoughtful about planting the right trees in the right place, but we also focus on long-term stewardship. Our goal is to offer five years of care for every tree that we plant. Throughout the year, we are watering trees, provide structural pruning, weeding and mulching, all while abiding by best industry practices so that our future forests have the best chance of thriving.
We are hard at work planting trees and partnering with the members of our community to plant and care for trees. Please join us for our volunteer tree plantings, trainings, community events and more. When people come together to work towards a region’s future, great things can happen!
-Tree Davis Staff and Board Members
The mission of Tree Davis is to enhance and expand the urban forest by partnering with our community to plant and care for trees.
A large majority of Tree Davis’s funding comes from grants and contracts. We are very appreciative to receive this support, but it is difficult to operate non-profits primarily on grants and contracts that have thin “overhead” limits, so a greater rate of individual donations strongly improves our ability to accomplish our goals and deliver our core services. We have big ideas about how to transform our neighborhood and city. Every donation, small or large makes a difference in helping us grow and care for our community canopy.
