Member Tours with Jim Gersbach
In 2008 new members of Hoyt Arboretum Friends (HAF) will be invited to attend two special tours of the Arboretum with local tree expert Jim Gersbach.
Jim has been a Hoyt Arboretum volunteer guide for more than 15 years and is a past HAF board member. He is also a volunteer tree planting crew leader with the urban tree planting organization Friends of Trees (FOT), and has served as their board president in the past. In 2005 he won the prestigious Bill Naito Community Trees award for his work with FOT creating the Ainsworth Linear Arboretum.
The first tour will be given Saturday, April 26, 2008 and the second tour will be given in Saturday, October 11, 2008. Such topics as Arboretum history, the scientific importance of the collection, the provenance of the Arboretum plants and how trees can be used to teach natural history, biography, the history of science and folklore will be covered.
New members will receive invitations to these events. Current members are welcome to attend the tours but space is limited. If interested please contact Carol Tatch, Membership Director at 503.823.3602 or carol.tatch@ci.portland.or.us.
