T Elliot Weier Redwood Grove

T. Elliot Weier Redwood Grove at UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden is home to one of the largest collections of coast redwood trees outside their native range, providing a serene and shaded environment just minutes from the campus. Named after a prominent botany professor who contributed to the establishment of the Arboretum in 1936, this grove showcases both towering redwoods and the diverse understory plants typical of redwood forests.

With trees that can live over 2,000 years and reach heights exceeding 350 feet, the grove not only offers a tranquil atmosphere but also serves as an educational resource through interpretive signage developed by students, faculty, and volunteers. The redwoods, which are approximately 65 years old, represent a significant ecological feature, as this species is naturally found only along the California and southern Oregon coasts.
