SIGN IN PLACE FOR PINE HOLLOW ARBORETUM

  Anyone driving on New Scotland Ave. in Singerlands has now the chance to see directions to Pine Hollow Arboretum on the signpost marking the intersection of New Scotland Ave and Maple Avenue. We hope that many who have said they knew we existed but did not know where will come across our sign and make the turn. There is a sign marking the Arboretum and parking information off of Maple Ave. as well. Pine Hollow Arboretum is open to the public every day from dawn to dusk.



  Pine Hollow Arboretum volunteer, Jerry Deighan was instrumental in getting the sign in place.
Thanks to him for his help.

SUN AND RAIN AT PINE HOLLOW ARBORETUM

The 2013 season is moving along into June with a past week of rain showers, hail storms, thunder and lightening mixed with periods of  blazing hot sun. All of the rain water has the ponds filled and ditches running and a few low areas too wet to walk about in. No significant wind damage has been reported at Pine Hollow Arboretum and the moisture has been good for our new tree plantings and understory growth. It is a green environment at the arboretum these days. Figure out how to dress for the weather (your guess is as good as mine) and stop by for a June visit. here are some photos from my June 2, 2013 visit.
