2013 Annual Report

Mission Statement

To maintain and improve Hoyt Arboretum and

its collection for all people through advocacy,

resources, awareness and education.

Hoyt Arboretum relies on the support of Hoyt

Arboretum Friends, a membership-based non-

profit organization working in partnership with

Portland Parks & Recreation.

From the Board President and Executive Director

Dear Friends,

2013 has been an exciting as well as productive year for Hoyt Arboretum Friends (HAF). We

installed 20 interpretive panels throughout Hoyt Arboretum thanks to the Joyce M. Furman Me-

morial Trust and Portland Parks Foundation, planted 213 trees and plants, and created Forage

in the Forest - a fundraising event that raised over $56,000 for our education programs and the

tree maintenance fund. A very generous donation of $20,000 from the Allen Family Foundation

allowed us to begin planning the new Bamboo Forest, and a 17% increase in earned and con-

tributed revenue resulted in a surplus for FY 2013.

We also had some fun. In July we collaborated with Treecology, Friends of Trees, and Portland

Parks & Recreation to break the Guinness World Record for simultaneous tree hugging with

936 huggers, including a wedding party in full regalia! But we can’t rest on our laurels as our

record is being challenged in Scotland. Join us for the second annual Hug-A-Tree event being

planned for July 12, 2014.

The number of programs offered by HAF continued to increase thanks to our dedicated volun-

teers. HAF initiated the Trail Rovers program where volunteer hikers assist and inform visitors

on the trails. Tree Encounters allows visitors to learn about a specific collection from an in-

formed on-site volunteer. Themed tours led by trained volunteers have seen a 350% increase

in visitor participation. These new programs are made possible by a significant increase in vol-

unteerism - from 200 people in 2012 to over 400 in 2013 - with volunteer hours more than dou-

bling from 3,859 to 7,865.

Here at HAF, we are highly motived by our mission to maintain and improve Hoyt Arboretum and its collection for all peo-

ple through advocacy, resources, awareness and education. We invite our members and volunteers to join us in cele-

brating these accomplishments as we collectively work to improve Hoyt Arboretum and face the environmental and fi-

nancial challenges of nurturing Portland’s collection of 6,000 trees. And we thank our HAF Board and staff who are com-

mitted to continuing this progress in 2014. We also know that we can count on our members to support our continued

efforts.

You may not always remember who provided the interpretive panels, purchased 400 seedlings or funded the new Bam-

boo Forest. But HAF knows who keeps Hoyt Arboretum moving forward. It’s our members! It’s your hours maintaining

the grounds and staffing the Visitor Center, your contributions that help HAF enhance the visitor experience, and your

choice to be a HAF member when there are other causes you could support.

Because of you, Hoyt Arboretum Friends working in partnership with Portland Parks & Recreation can continue to pas-

sionately steward Hoyt Arboretum - Portland’s museum of living trees - as a place for conservation, education, research,

recreation and display.

Please accept our deepest appreciation for your commitment and investment in supporting our trees.

Most sincerely,

Keith Dubanevich Peggie Schwarz

President Executive Director

From the Curator

In 2013 additions outweighed removals with 213 plantings and 106 removals.

These removals included retroactive corrections to the plant database to ac-

count for previously made physical removals.

During spring planting, we were able to add six species of rhododendron be-

tween SW Fairview Blvd and the Wildwood Trail near the start of the White

Pine Trail. This area had been in need of maintenance and planting for some

time, and it was great to finally get some additional plantings completed. The

selected species will achieve heights of 15 to 30 feet, and - many years from

now - the rhododendrons will create a tunnel effect when walking the trail.

During Arbor Month in April, we celebrated the naming of Hoyt Arboretum’s Dawn redwood as a Heritage Tree. This liv-

ing fossil was the first of its species to set cones in North America since its extinction from this part of the world six mil-

lion years ago. Stop by and check out the full story the next time you are hiking in the arboretum.

Due to combined rain and wind, there was damage to many mature trees around the arboretum. The most noticeable

loss was two large Gymnocladus dioicus, the Kentucky Coffee tree, on the hill near the Overlook. The trees were a good

size after 30 years of growth; however, their provenance was unknown due to a lack of records. Having good prove-

nance is a priority for the arboretum’s collection, and we were able to get three replacement trees from Brenton Arbore-

tum. The replacement trees come from wild-collected seed from three different locations, and I look forward to watching

these trees grow up.

In October, I attended the World Congress of Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) held in Dunedin, New

Zealand. The trip was made possible through funds from Hoyt Arboretum Friends. It was an honor to be able to attend

and learn about the global issues threatening plants from some of the world’s leading public gardens. A constant theme

of the World Congress was the concept of Kaitiakitanga, a Maori term to describe guardianship of the environment. Mao-

ri is the official native language of New Zealand; in Maori

culture and myth, plants were created ahead of people and

should be given guardianship as respected elders. To learn

more about BGCI’s role, please visit www.bgci.org/

resources/proceedings_past/. Hoyt Arboretum is a

BGCI member.

Last November, we launched self-guided tours using the

plant inventory database. A new database feature allows

us to connect the dots between trees to create a tour. Visi-

tors are able to access the tours through their smart

phones or print out tour descriptions from our website. The

self-guided tours are available at

hoytarboretum.gardenexplorer.org.

Volunteers play a critical role in all aspects of Hoyt Arboretum’s maintenance and programming. Their leadership, labor,

and love are reflected everywhere - from the labeled trees and groomed trails to the smiling faces of visitors from all over

the world.

Labor costs make up 80% of the maintenance budget for Portland’s parks, and volunteers provide nearly one-third of the

labor that keeps our parks safe, open, clean and beautiful. The volunteer spirit that motivates so many talented and busy

people is an essential part of keeping Hoyt Arboretum’s global garden growing, its trails safe and accessible, and its visi-

tors informed about the arboretum.

Volunteers are involved with the arboretum for opportunities to learn new things, share knowledge and experiences, and

maybe even develop skills towards a new career or hobby. Enduring friendships are born here, nurtured by shared pas-

sions for trees, the arboretum and the wonders of nature.

Volunteer support for HAF enables us to:

Maintain the arboretum’s collection and 12 miles of trails

Staff the Visitor Center to answer visitors’ questions and provide maps and brochures

Guide outdoor tours to educate visitors about the arboretum’s collection

Offer special events at the arboretum

Add programs and projects

On behalf of everyone who uses and enjoys Hoyt Arboretum,

we extend a resounding THANK YOU to the 400 volunteers who

donated 7,865 hours of their time and talents to the arboretum!

Volunteer Spotlight

Citizen Science

Herbarium: Volunteers created museum-quality vouchers for our growing

herbarium. Visit them in the Bill deWeese Classroom on Thursdays be-

tween 12pm and 4pm.

Orchid Research: Citizen scientists began the study of native orchids at

Hoyt Arboretum to help grow the population of these small but fascinating

plants.

Conifer Pollen: Thanks to a grant from the Native Plant Society of Oregon,

citizen scientists began to research on pollen release at three sites in the

Pacific Northwest, including Hoyt Arboretum.

Visitor Services Enhancement

Trail Rovers: This program was created to get volunteer hikers out on the

arboretum trails to inform, assist and educate Hoyt visitors. In addition, trail

rovers report what is in bloom or changing colors throughout the arboretum

and alert staff to trail maintenance issues.

Education Enhancement

Tree Encounters: Tree Encounters was initiated as a trailside educational

program to focus on the redwood, birch and gingko collections. This volun-

teer opportunity is a great alternative to leading traditional tours since it

allows for flexible scheduling and introductory tree knowledge.

Education and Outreach

At Portland Parks & Recreation’s Environmental Education, we not

only value the connection that comes when people experience the

ecology, wonder and beauty of our natural areas, but we also value

the importance of introducing new people to these special places.

Hoyt Arboretum is a place central to our educational outreach, and

each year we strive to expand our audience to include babies, chil-

dren, teens and adults from all demographics, socioeconomic lev-

els, ethnicities and cultures.

During the 2013 calendar year we served numerous groups at Hoyt

Arboretum through our various programs. 206 children attended

Ladybug Walks, guided by our preschool naturalist team, and over

150 adults attended along with their children. Often these young

children make their way into the Lil’ Nature Kids and Nature School

programs, where they visit Hoyt Arboretum week after week, building a relationship with both the staff and the park. In

2013 there were 300 visits through these two programs.

Summer is the most active time for programming. In 2013, there were five weeks of Summer Nature Day Camp at Hoyt.

Children ages 5 to 13 spent 6,300 hours of time in Hoyt Arboretum learning about the plants and animals of the Pacific

Northwest and spent many of those hours playing games, tracking animals (and each other!) and doing nature crafts.

The goal of the program is literally to connect children to the natural space through direct experiences – and Hoyt is of-

ten touted as the staff’s favorite place to be assigned because of the vast amount of space and the diversity of the forest.

Many schools and groups also chose Hoyt Arboretum as a place to complement their classroom learning by scheduling

field trips for their students. In 2013, 318 youth and 65 accompanying adults took part in education about the trees,

plants, animals and birds through City Nature-Environmental Education. These schools came from all parts of town to

learn about Hoyt, specifically, because it is a consistently rich experience for the students.

Our oldest youth participants are the teens involved with G.R.U.N.T. & Jr. G.R.U.N.T. (Greenspaces Restoration and

Urban Naturalist Team). G.R.U.N.T. participants have very little access to nature and come from diverse demographics

and backgrounds, and most of them experienced Hoyt Arboretum for the first time through the program. The teens spent

numerous weeks learning job skills, stewardship and ecology. Many students begin the program in eight grade, and

some of them continue through tenth grade. The summer following program completion, 8 to 12 of the teens are em-

ployed with the Summer Nature Day Camp program and Youth Conservation Crew (YCC). In 2013, there were 52 teens

who spent a full day at Hoyt Arboretum, learning ethnobotany and getting excited about invertebrates with “The Bug

Chicks!”

Our hope for our Environmental Education programming is that we are introducing new people of all ages to the magical

place called Hoyt Arboretum – be it through the experiences of the waddling toddler or the inquisitive student or the awe-

struck teen seeing the Root Tree for the first time. We have many new people to go and find … and we look forward to a

continued partnership with Hoyt Arboretum Friends in education!

Financials

2013 continued 2012’s trend of revenue growth with

earned and contributed revenue increasing $56,406 or

17% over 2012. Our exciting new event, Forage in the

Forest, along with increased individual and corporate

contributions, lead the way in this growth. Merchandise

sales and an increase in in-kind contributions contributed

significantly as well.

These revenue increases, along with cost management,

resulted in positive operating results for the first time in

several years with a $19,216 increase in net assets for

the year.
