Portland International Rose Test Garden & World Forestry Center - Washington Park
Another fun day in Portland, Oregon! We spent the day in Washington Park. This beautiful area just outside of downtown has magnificent views of the city and Mount Hood, as well as fabulous things to do and see. First we learned all about forests in the World Forestry Center, a wonderful museum with lots of hands on opportunities for kids. Then we took the free shuttle around the park to the Rose Test Garden and the kids had a blast smelling all the different roses and picking their favorite. If those two sites don't interest you, the area is also home to an archery range, playground, the Hoyt Arboretum, memorials, the Oregon Zoo, Portland's Children's Museum, the Portland Japanese Garden, soccer fields and tennis courts. One day certainly wasn't enough to see it all. We will have to return!

World Forest Institute- 2012 Portland Mayor's International Business Award Winner
Consider it the United Nations of forestry.
The World Forest Institute at the World Forestry Center is the vision of Harry Merlo. Since 1990, more than 100 young professional foresters from around the world have come to Portland to work and study at the World Forest Institute. Here, in the cradle of international forestry, professionals learn about best management practices and state of the art applications.
After a year, they return to their home countries to apply their skills in highly responsible jobs. From Finland to Australia, from China to Brazil, from Siberia to Africa, these forestry fellows of the World Forest Institute, each funded in part by the Merlo Foundation, are reshaping the destiny of their precious forests.
From Portland and the World Forest Institute, forestry knowledge is being exported to the world, sustaining the benefits of healthy forests to humanity.

Beautiful Rose garden in Portland Oregon

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.

An Ode to Street Trees
I'm on Patreon! Consider supporting this channel:
I live in Sacramento, and when I moved here I learned two things quickly. First, Sacramento summers are hot. Like really hot. Many days are over 100 degrees. The second thing I learned is that Sacramento is livable, even with those high temperatures, thanks to its extensive tree canopy. The trees provide shade that makes me feel about 10-15 degrees cooler, and without them I probably would’ve moved a long time ago. Shade is just one of the many many benefits trees provide in urban areas, and I’m going to count down my favorites, as well talk about what it takes to maintain a verdant urban forest.
