GIVE TO THE PINE HOLLOW ENDOWMENT FUND
Established in 2013, the Pine Hollow Arboretum Endowment Fund was created to secure the Arboretum’s future as gifts are invested and continue to grow while the Arboretum uses annual interest to fund the operating budget. You can give to the Pine Hollow Arboretum Endowment Fund any time of the year. At our web-site Home Page click on Join & Support and check the donation box and put “For Endowment Fund” in the comments section. If you do not wish to donate online, you may instead send a check to Endowment Fund, 34 Pine Hollow Road, Slingerlands, New York 12159. Just make a note “For Endowment Fund” on the memo of your check and your gift will be acknowledged accordingly. The Arboretum is a 501(3) not-for-profit independent organization. Donations are tax-exempt according to law.
Your gift, in any amount, makes a difference.

LETTERBOX AT PINE HOLLOW ARBORETUM
What is letterboxing?
Letterboxing is an outdoor hobby perfect for people of all ages! It combines elements of hiking with treasure hunting, allowing visitors of the Pine Hollow Arboretum to explore the property in a new way. A list of clues can be retrieved from the Visitor’s Center during our weekend hours or you can access them at www.atlasquest.com under Pine Hollow Arboretum. These clues will lead you to each letterbox hidden on the property but don’t forget, the boxes are not in plain view so you need to search for them! They may be hidden under some plantings, leaves or wood debris. Currently, there are 7 hidden boxes. Each letterbox contains a unique, hand-carved stamp, which you can (using your own stamp pad) stamp in your own journal as you find each letterbox, proof of your success! Try to collect as many stamps as you can as you explore the arboretum!
