All Welcome on Wyatt Deck Campaign Thank You!

Mon, May 17, 2021

On behalf of the entire Arboretum and Public Garden team — and everyone who loves Wyatt Deck — we extend warm appreciation to community donors who supported our “All Welcome on Wyatt Deck” campaign!

We’re thrilled to report that over 270 contributors collectively provided over $100,000 to update the Wyatt Deck area as a vibrant, safe and accessible center for public, volunteer and student engagement. Whether you were a donor who helped kicked off our campaign during UC Davis Give Day, or made a gift to help us finish strong during Big Day of Giving or contributed at any time during our four-week campaign — THANK YOU!

We extend special gratitude to our lead challenge donor, the Unger-Yackzan Family, and the other six challenge donors who pledged early campaign gifts. Your generosity inspired others to join you in supporting the Wyatt Deck project.

Demolition of the old deck is already underway and construction of the new path and decks and improvements to the Wyatt Deck area will be continuing this year. We can’t wait to unveil the completed project in early 2022 and welcome our community back to Wyatt Deck.

Thank you again to everyone who is helping to rebuild Wyatt Deck for new generations of students and visitors and supporting the Arboretum and Public Garden’s mission to help people and environments thrive!
