Hoyt Arboretum, Portland Oregon
The Hoyt Arboretum is located atop a ridge in the west hills of Portland, Oregon, United States. It was founded in 1922[1] by a collection of timber industry representatives, the U.S. Forest Service, the Portland Parks & Recreation department, and enthusiasts.
The 187-acre (0.76 km2)[2] (76 ha) arboretum hosts just under ten thousand individual trees and shrubs of more than eleven hundred species from all over the world. Most have labels identifying common and scientific names and region of origin.
The arboretum has twelve miles (19 km) of trails (two of which are suitable for wheelchairs), a visitor center, an indoor classroom with seating for 40 people, a picnic shelter and a meadow. Volunteer tour guides have been available since the 1970s.
The arboretum is located two miles (3 km) west of downtown Portland within Washington Park, and close to the Oregon Zoo, and the International Rose Test Garden. The Arboretum is open to the public and accessible at several points from Washington Park or from the Macleay Trail in Forest Park. The volunteer-staffed visitor's center is located at the center of the park where visitors can find information about the park and its trees; the visitor's center is also the starting point for periodic volunteer-guided tours.
Of note is the Dawn Redwood, one of only a few known deciduous conifers (needle and cone bearing trees that lose their leaves in the winter). The species was once thought extinct and known only in fossils, but was rediscovered in a remote valley in China in the early part of the twentieth century. The tree was reintroduced to the western hemisphere through saplings planted in the Hoyt Arboretum. The trees bear soft, short needles and have a distinctive look in that the branches seem to push out from folds in the trunk.

Episode 18: Japanese Garden, Hoyt Arboretum, Discovery Museum, International Rose Test Garden.
In the last episode we showed you the Oregon Zoo. This week we’re showing you the rest of Portland’s Washington Park, which includes The Portland Japanese Garden, The Hoyt Arboretum, The Discovery Museum, and the International Rose Test Garden.
This is the Portland Japanese Garden. It is a traditional Japanese garden that occupies 12 acres.
Throughout the Garden’s history, it has been acclaimed by visiting Japanese dignitaries as one of the most beautiful and authentic Japanese gardens in the world outside of Japan.
The exhibit contains artifacts from the GION MATSURI, the World’s Oldest Urban Festival. The Gion Festival was named for Kyoto's famed Gion entertainment district, the birthplace of Kabuki and the world of geisha.
Next we visited the Upper pond of the Strolling Garden, which comes fully equipped with a romantic Moon bridge. The lower pong has a Zigzag bridge where you can get a good look at the Koi fish. If you follow the stream you’ll eventually end up at the Heavenly Falls.
Established in 1928, Hoyt Arboretum (ar-BUR-EE-tum) is Portland’s museum of living trees.
The arboretum encompasses 189 ridge-top acres in Washington Park that are accessible by 12 miles of trails.
Beginning in April, tour guides will take you on an informative 90-minute journey through their tree and plant collections.
The Discovery Museum of the World Forestry center is located in Portland’s Washington Park right across form the Portland Zoo. The pamphlet says that the 20,000 square foot museum is sure to delight anyone from ages 3 to 103.
Our trip started out with the first in a series of mildly entertaining videos.
Unfortunately that was as about exciting or informative as this museum ever got.
The second floor of the museum tells global forest stories exploring climate, wildlife, and how people around the world are connected to and dependent on their local forests.
If you’re tired of looking at animals at the zoo and you want to cleans you’re pallet this place may be ok but otherwise I’d save the $7. This place doesn’t even have a decent gift shop.
The International Rose Test Garden at Washing park is 4.5 acres of wall to wall roses. It is the oldest official continuously operated pubic rose garden in the United States. The primary purpose of the garden is to serve as a testing ground for new rose varieties. There are 8,000 individual rose bushes encompassing 600 varieties. The best time to come is in late May through November.
In the beginning of WWI hybridist sent roses from around the world to Portland’s garden for testing and to keep the new hybrids safe from being destroyed by the bombing in Europe. Take that Central Powers.

Portland, Oregon’s largest city, sits on the Columbia and Willamette rivers, in the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood. It’s known for its parks, bridges and bicycle paths, as well as for its eco-friendliness and its microbreweries and coffeehouses. Iconic Washington Park encompasses sites from the formal Japanese Garden to Oregon Zoo and its railway. The city hosts thriving art, theater and music scenes.
Downtown Portland is the heart of the city. To the immediate south of Downtown is the campus of Portland State University and South Waterfront, an urban revitalization area at the southern end of the streetcar line with newly built glass residential towers. Just to the north of Downtown is Old Town, which is where Portland was first settled and which has some historic buildings and is a nightlife center, but also contains a fair amount of social services for homeless and mentally ill. The neighborhood also holds the remnants of Chinatown.
Just to the northwest of Downtown is the Pearl District, a very hip and trendy neighborhood on the streetcar line which was not long ago derelict warehouses and empty industrial space. To the north of the Pearl, at the northern end of the streetcar line is the Northwest District, also known as Nob Hill and also on the trendy side and with a variety of retail shops, bars, and restaurants along with plenty of lovely Victorians and tree-lined streets. West of this is the West Hills, where the well-to-do of Portland have traditionally lived.
Hawthorne Blvd, which runs east-west across the river from Downtown. SE Division, parallel to and a mile south of Hawthorne Blvd. Located along Sandy Blvd northeast of downtown, Hollywood is a commercial district for the nearby neighborhoods and home to the Hollywood Theater. To the north of downtown between MLK Blvd and 30th Avenue, Alberta Street has much the same feel as Hawthorne Blvd; a counter-culture/bohemian community that's becoming popular with yuppies.

IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild
Please subscribe to this channel then support the project at
IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild is an outdoor concert series in stunning landscapes that showcase Oregon industry, history and culture. We bring a 9-foot Steinway grand piano to the middle of forests, fields, calderas and historical sites for classical music concerts. To meet the acoustical challenges of performing in the wild, music is transmitted to the concert-goers via wireless headphones. No longer confined to seats, they can explore the landscape, wander through secret glens, lie in sunny meadows, and roam old growth forests.
Through local sponsors and grant funds we aim to make concerts available on a donation basis and open to the public. YOUR SUPPORT via Patreon directly subsidizes this effort. The more you give, the more places we go!
IN A LANDSCAPE is an Oregon nonprofit corporation in the process of applying for 501(c)(3) status. We expect to receive our IRS Determination letter during the 2018 calendar year in which case all donations made as of January 30, 2018 will be tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
Notes from past concert-goers:
At Oneonta Tunnel: “As a first-time classical viewer, this was the most beautiful first experience.”
At Hoyt Arboretum: “The sound of the wind swirling through the trees was a perfect and stunning complement to Liszt!”
At Tamástslikt Cultural Institute: “Our 7th IN A LANDSCAPE event in the last two years – each one unique, powerful, and memorable. Thanks OCF, and Hunter Noack for making this possible for so many to enjoy.”
At Mount Pisgah Arboretum: “Having that many people stop for an hour, gather, listen to music, and enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting is an amazing feat these days, and in this case had exactly the heartening benefit we seek from the arts.”
MISSION
IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild presents classical music in spectacular and unusual locations in every part of Oregon that appeal to both those who have no relationship to classical music, as well as to die-hard classical music aficionados – from Oregon ranchers to outdoor enthusiasts to city dwellers who have never been hiking or camping. IN A LANDSCAPE celebrates both classical music and the Oregon outdoors in experiences that are accessible to all Oregonians, regardless of economic status, political affiliation, education or age.
HISTORY
In the spirit of the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Music and Theatre Projects, which presented thousands of free concerts and plays in theaters, public spaces and parks across the country during the Depression, IN A LANDSCAPE has produced two seasons of free/donation based concerts in public lands across Oregon.
In the 2016 inaugural season, IN A LANDSCAPE presented Hunter Noack and guests in nine classical music concerts at WPA sites, city, state, and regional parks within 75 miles of Portland, Oregon. The donation-based reservation system was made possible by funding from the Regional Arts and Culture Council and local philanthropists. Every concert of the ten-day series was sold-out before the first show began. Over 1000 people from at least 3 countries, 8 states, 13 Oregon counties and 34 Oregon cities made reservations, doubling the expected attendance.
In 2017, the series expanded to 14 concerts presented in every region of Oregon and three in Southern Washington, to an audience of over 2000. The concert set-up became more efficient after Jordan Schnitzer bought a Steinway concert-grand piano for the project and a new means of transportation was invented specifically to take the piano to remote, off-road locations. A Creative Heights grant from Oregon Community Foundation, along with smaller grants won with local partner organizations, provided the means to offer 12 of the 14 concerts for free/donations.
The National Parks Service, Oregon State Parks, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, Confluence Project, Hood River Performing Arts Initiative, Eugene Symphony, Portland Chamber Orchestra, the Nez Perce, Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla Tribes, and many others have provided in-kind support, waiving fees, and helping to market IN A LANDSCAPE events throughout their networks.
IN A LANDSCAPE has been featured in printed and digital press throughout the state including Oregon Public Broadcasting’s (OPB) television show ArtBeat (airs February 15, 2018), the Baker City Herald, Klamath Falls’ Herald & News, OPB’s State of Wonder, Portland Monthly, and Hood River News.
Cathedral Park, Oregon in 4K (UHD)
Cathedral Park lies in North Portland nestled on the banks of the Willamette river in the unsurprisingly named Cathedral Park Neighborhood. A quiet unassuming location beneath the St. Johns bridge, where thousands of commuters pass overhead daily. Walking beneath the towering cathedral-like footings of the St. John’s bridge with the sun rays streaking through the morning mist, and the trees of Forest Park dancing in the distance as a cool breeze passes through them, it’s nothing short of a religious experience.

Bonus Reel - Portland Sets World Record In Tree Hugging!
Dateline Portland Oregon Monday July 22, 2013 - Warning: Coming soon to the rest of America! Long but worth the time, I am posting the much anticipated bonus reel from saturday's World Record for Tree Hugging, set in the Hoyt Arboretum, Portland Oregon. A staggering 951 people hugged trees for over a minute breaking the past official record of 731 people documented in the Guinness Book of World Records. The previous record was set by a group in England in September 2011. Keep in mind what you are watching is *real*. These are *not* actors. This is *not* performed from a script. Some of the people are paid by the taxpayer. The reel includes an interview with the Arboretum's Curator Kiwi Martin Nicholson and special guest Damonn Schrosk Owner of Treecology (you can't make this stuff up folks) who has an interesting set of credentials which required three sets of screen titles. Hang in there for the attempt at a tree sing along (which destroyed a perfectly good Door's Tune), a creepy mascot frightening the children, and at least two documented near fatal incidents with sap. Caught on tape: a kid actually climbing a tree (gasp!) despite warnings from officials, while others tangle with poison ivy! Welcome to Portland the land of the bizarre where the surreal becomes real. (Includes the footage from the original short version as well.)
