The Grounds Division at UC Davis is responsible for maintaining outdoor areas of campus, including both landscape and hardscape (benches, roads and paths). Beyond simply maintaining plantings, the Grounds Division goes to great lengths to select a diversity of plants that are unique, intriguing and educational while still considering our local climate and ease of care. The Grounds Division stewards a dedication program and fund which enables the purchase of benches and trees in honor of individuals. Sal Genito is the director of the Grounds Division. As they are unionized, sometimes they go on strikes.
