Davis Campus Priority Tree Removals 2026

The Davis Campus Priority Tree Removals 2026 project, managed by the University of California, Davis, involves the removal of approximately 90 trees across the main campus, including One Shields Avenue and areas within unincorporated Solano County. These trees have been identified by a certified arborist as life safety threats due to structural decay and death. The project is classified as required maintenance of campus public spaces and is categorized under the CEQA Class 1 exemption, indicating that the work will result in negligible or no expansion of existing use. The removals are scheduled to be performed by UC Davis Grounds and the Arboretum Public Garden staff during July and August 2026. The project spans the cities and counties of Davis, Yolo, and Solano, with Heather Davis, the Director of Campus and Environmental Planning, serving as the primary point of contact. This effort is specifically designed to address critical life safety issues through the removal of hazardous vegetation.
