Arboretum

A Living Legacy of Learning and Growth

The Arboretum at Sacramento State brings together a vibrant community of learners in a unique outdoor classroom. Home to over 400 species of trees from across the globe, this three-acre sanctuary serves as more than just a beautiful space—it's where students develop hands-on experience and deep connections with nature. As winner of the Sacramento Tree Foundation's Legacy Award, the Arboretum stands as a testament to our commitment to environmental education and community engagement.

Your gift to the Arboretum creates lasting impact for both students and our region. When you give, you help provide free guided field trips that spark curiosity in local schoolchildren. You sustain a living laboratory where Sac State students from various academic departments gain practical experience. Most importantly, you support a diverse collection of plants that shows our community the rich possibilities for sustainable landscapes in Sacramento.

This year, we are honoring Dr. Michael Baad, who has served the Arboretum for decades. Dr. Melanie Loo has made a special gift to honor his contribution to the front porch of our campus. Join her in honoring Dr. Baad with a donation of any size. These funds are vital to the Arboretum's success. 

Thank you for making a difference.
