2014 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 nonprofit organization working in partnership with
Portland Parks & Recreation.
2014 Annual Report
From the Board President and Executive Director
Dear Friends,
Thank you for helping Hoyt Arboretum Friends (HAF) have another fulfilling and productive year
making improvements to Hoyt Arboretum.
In 2014 HAF membership grew by 24%, over $80,000 was raised at the Forage in the Forest fundraiser for education and tree maintenance, 600 tree huggers cuddled trees at the Hug-A-Tree-AtHoyt event and Portland Parks & Recreation added 2.24 acres to Hoyt Arboretum. In our global collection, a spectacular new Bamboo Forest is being installed thanks to a generous gift from Janice
Stewart and Gordy Allen through the Allen Family Foundation, with additional funding from the Ned
Jaquith Foundation and Bill and Kuniko deWeese family, and the Board donated funds for a weather
station to be installed in 2015.
In our global collection, your contributions to the Tree Fund allowed us to plant 171 new plants; improve the Winter Garden with new drainage, plants and decorative rocks; create a new garden in
the Maple collection by excavating a plot, adding nutritious soil, upgrading the drainage system and
building a rock retaining wall. 513 new plants were acquired and an industrial-grade potting bench
was purchased to increase our capacity for plant propagation. Your donations also helped to beautify the Overlook with rock features and decorative plants that enhance the visitor experience for people from Portland and around the world.
Thanks to your generosity, contributed income increased by 8% allowing HAF to expand our safety net by adding to our
financial reserves and create new programs. Those new programs include Tree Buddies – our youth environmental education program featuring activities and special kid’s tours. Additional Saturday work crews have been added and Hoyt
Arboretum Herbarium activities have increased with interns and volunteer archivists now meeting weekly to preserve and
archive plant specimens used for scientific research and conservation.
These programs and many more could not happen without our small army of dedicated volunteers, the numbers of
whom have increased significantly in 2014 from 400 to 763. Volunteer hours increased from 7,865 to nearly 11,000 - a
$254,000 value! HAF set records with 103 volunteers at the Parke Diem work days and at Arborists in the Arboretum
when 89 arborists from 31 companies volunteered their professional services for tree maintenance valued at nearly
$27,000.
The spirit of giving is alive and well at Hoyt Arboretum and thanks to you HAF and the arboretum continue to grow
stronger for the community and the world. We could not meet our mission to maintain and improve Hoyt Arboretum and
its collection for all people through advocacy, resources, awareness and education without you. Your time, treasure and
talents made Hoyt Arboretum better in 2014. Through your donations and volunteerism we have collectively worked to
steward Hoyt Arboretum - Portland’s museum of living trees - as a place for global conservation, education, research,
recreation and display.
It takes all of us – members, donors, volunteers, board and staff to nurture our urban treasure, and HAF is committed to
making even more progress in 2015 with your help. Please accept our deepest appreciation for your commitment to support the world’s trees and make an investment for future generations.
Most gratefully,
Keith Dubanevich, President

From the Curator
Temperature wise, 2014 was a great year for growing plants with only one challenging temperature change. In mid-November the overnight temperatures rapidly dropped from a comfortable 50 degrees to 28 degrees. The plants had little
time to acclimatize, and some tip and leaf damage from that weather event has
been observed. More notable though were the wind storms that frequented the
end of the year. Peak gusts were recorded at 60 miles per hour in October, 54
miles per hour in November and 67 miles per hour in December. There were
significant losses at the arboretum, and Horticulturist Mark McKinney noted that
we had 20 days in a row of chainsaw operation clearing large fallen trees.
Thanks as always to the many volunteers who helped with this extensive task.
On a more positive note, some of the removals were planned due to the development of our new Bamboo Forest collection site. The removal and planting of the site have created a drastic landscape change along Fischer Lane by opening
up the area and improving the overall viewing opportunities of the surrounding collections. Some of the removed stumps
found their way to offsite parks to improve habitat. The bamboo installation and site preparations consumed many hours,
and we appreciated the help of Tuesday Crew, New Seasons employees and bamboo experts Dain Sansome, Ian Conner and Noah Bell, as well as the designer of the site Anna Foleen. Twenty-one species and cultivars of bamboo were
planted to represent the diverse growth habits of bamboo.
Notable spring plantings include the addition of six new species of maple that we have not previously grown. After monitoring their performance, we will report on their suitability for the Portland area. In the process of preparing for this planting, the intersection of the Maple and Hawthorn Trails was landscaped to improve site drainage and beautify the corner.
Acer pentaphyllum was planted in the new bed at this intersection.
The Winter Garden was another site that received an extensive overhaul. Mark McKinney, our new horticulturist who
started at Hoyt in January 2014, has received a lot of great
feedback on his efforts. The Winter Garden is one of the
few areas in the arboretum whose role is strictly aesthetic;
as such, Mark has been able to exercise his creativity in
the design and plant palette. HAF funded the plants and
materials used in the redesign.
Erin Riggs continues to work on species verification and
vouchering of the collection. We now have 853 items in the
herbarium including a mix of arboretum vouchers and local
native and invasive plants. The use of this resource has
been increasing with regional land management staff and
the general public referencing the vouchers for plant identification.

We engaged in a plant relocation effort working with the Lan Su Chinese
Garden to extract a Keetelaria evelyiana that had been growing there for 15
years. The tree was taking up more space than was available and needed a
new home. After digging and wrapping the root ball, the tree was lifted out of
the garden with a crane. There will be a two-year period of poor growth due
to the relocation to the arboretum. Although it may look awful for awhile, its
chance of survival is high, and it will be stunning once again.

in the 29th annual Arborists in

Volunteers
On behalf of everyone who uses and enjoys Hoyt Arboretum,
we extend a resounding THANK YOU to the 763 volunteers who
donated 10,860 hours of their time and talents to the arboretum!
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 visitors 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 passions for trees, the arboretum and the wonders of nature.
Volunteer support for HAF enables us to:

Volunteer Spotlight
Citizen Science
Orchid Research: The first year of data has been collected and research
protocol has been established. In 2015, citizen scientists will help design
plot treatments, collect data and conduct further research.
Education Enhancement
Kids Tours: Volunteers have led the charge to design training and materials for guides to take groups of Tree Buddies from preschool through sixth
grade on educational adventures in the arboretum. Using games, visual
aids and stories, we look forward to many more years of creating the next
generation of Hoyt Arboretum Friends!

Horticulturist Mark McKinney.
Maintenance
Saturday Crew: We now have a twice monthly opportunity to volunteer on
Saturdays with the always popular Mark McKinney. Through Saturday
Crew, we’re not only able to create a way for people to get out and get
dirty on weekends, we’ve increased our ability to provide a beautiful and
well cared for space for arboretum visitors.
Visitor Services Enhancement
Visitor Center: The Visitor Center was open nearly seven days a week in
2014, providing customer service, information about the arboretum, warm
tea, and great conversation to visitors from around the world.

Education and Outreach
“Can we visit fairy forest today?” “These trees are huge!” “I love it in the
summer house!” These are three of the most common things heard by
all of us at Portland Parks Environmental Education when we are leading groups of toddlers, campers, classroom and teens along the trails
of Hoyt Arboretum!
There are 12 miles of trails through Hoyt Arboretum – and there is a
good chance our City Nature Educators and Naturalists at Portland
Parks are familiar with them all. Each year we spend hours out on the
trails – everything from leading the Ladybug Nature Walks for toddlers
and preschoolers to exploring nature’s magical mysteries during Nature
Day Camp to teaching science and ethnobotany to our GRUNT and Jr
GRUNT (Greenspaces Restoration and Urban Naturalist Team) teen
naturalists in training. Hoyt Arboretum proves to be one of Portland
Parks shining gems regardless of the age of the participant or the ability of the hiker – as educators of our PP&R Natural Areas, we are so
thankful to have this space in which to learn, play and steward for the
future.
Last year alone, participants in programs with Portland Parks Environmental Education spent over 7,500 hours in nature. Many of our teens
visit Hoyt Arboretum for the first time through a GRUNT program, and
many of our very youngest Ladybug Walkers go on to take nature classes, do field trips and become campers as they get older. At PP&R
Environmental Education, we value substantial, long-term relationships. Each participant’s positive relationship to nature is quintessential
to having them care for and protect the space as they get older, and even though our lessons look different for different
age-groups, each one values both knowledge and connection to place.
We are especially thankful each year to the Hoyt Arboretum Friends group as they sell the Holiday Wreaths during the
December fundraiser. This year, we had a fantastic group of volunteers led by Heather Wilkinson come and help make
them, and were so thankful for Becky Schreiber and Peggie Schwarz as they helped organize the sales at the arboretum. In total, we raised $13,000 to help bring Portland children from underserved neighborhoods to camp who could not
otherwise afford it. Thanks HAF! We could not have done that without you!
We look forward to the learning and play in the coming months and years at Hoyt Arboretum, and hope for help with
many more wreaths to come!

Financials
2014 represents the third consecutive year of revenue
growth at HAF. Earned and contributed revenue
increased approximately $14,000 or 4% over 2013. Individual and corporate contributions lead this increase with
20% and 89% increases, respectively, over 2013 and
Forage in the Forest, our annual fundraising event, again
made a significant contribution to the annual results.
These strong financial results, coupled with effective cost
management, resulted in an approximate $38,000
increase in net assets for the year, more than double the
2013 increase of approximately $19,000.
