Notes from the Executive Director

We would like to welcome our newest members of the Hoyt Arboretum Friends Board of Directors - Liza Finkel and Edie

Millar.

Liza is an Associate Professor of Education in the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education. Edie is a neighbor who brings her skills in fundraising, membership development and marketing to HAF.

You are invited to meet Liza, Edie and the entire HAF board and staff at the Annual Meeting on April 27 at 2pm at the Visitor Center prior to the Spring Blossom Tour.

We would also like to thank several very dedicated board members who will be leaving HAF: George Battistel, Laura Finney, Marilyn Lindner and Elisabeth Shellan. They have done a tremendous amount of important work for Hoyt Arboretum, and we thank them for their many years of support and service to HAF. They will be missed.

Peggie Schwarz Executive Director, Hoyt Arboretum Friends

Silver Leaf Stewards

The Silver Leaf Stewards program is the perfect way to honor your family or pay tribute to someone who has touched your life in a significant way.

With your tax-deductible gift, a metal leaf plaque will be installed on a rock wall in the arboretum engraved with your honoree’s name.

For more information please contact Peggie Schwarz at 503.823.1648 or peg-

gie.schwarz@portlandoregon.gov. Additional infor-mation is also available at www.hoytarboretum.org.

Support the Trees in Arbor Month

April is Arbor Month in Portland and a time when we put extra effort into nur-turing and celebrating our museum of 6,000 living trees.

You can help support your arboretum with a donation that goes directly to maintain-ing the collection. Thanks to a generous gift from one of our supporters, your contribution will be matched up to $12,000, so your gift is doubled and twice

as important!

Your investment in Hoyt Arboretum will help us fertilize and prune our trees, acquire seedlings to expand the collection and purchase nourishing mulch. You can help keep over 2,000 species of trees and plants healthy and inviting by mak-

ing your tax-deductible gift online here.

Remember, every gift of $35 or more makes

you a member of Hoyt Arboretum Friends!

When will they bloom?

Plums and Cherries: Plums and cherries are just beginning to bloom. Their fragile blossoms require calm weather for peak viewing that can last now through the end of April.

Magnolias: Magnolias begin blooming in early April with M. Stellata and will last until the end of May. The peak bloom time should be early May.

Maples: Maples will begin to unfurl their long flower chains in late-April. These are stunning intricate blooms that are often overlooked.

Dogwoods: Dogwoods are a staple in Oregon. These beauties can be seen blooming near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial beginning in mid-May.

Support the trees!
