Visitors will be able to access the Arboretum through the interior side of the residential campus. Motorists will need to drive on Ranch View Road, off Coolidge Drive. There will be signs posted along the detour route, which will include driving onto a dirt road.

UC Santa Cruz is committed to equal access and inclusion for people with disabilities and strives to have a barrier-free environment. Community members can use the Report a Barrier form to notify the campus if this closure prevents you or someone else from fully taking part in a university program, service, or activity.
