This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Brainy Birds: Summer
DESCRIPTION:Birds are incredible and have adapted to survive in dynamic & changing environments. Every species has unique traits and sometimes quite specialized strategies. Using the backdrop of seasonal changes at Hoyt Arboretum\, Dr. Kiki Sanford will facilitate discovery of the many ways it is connected to its avian inhabitants. Winter classes will center on adaptations for surviving intense seasonal conditions. Spring brings the frenzy of breeding season. Summer includes juvenile development and the onset of the next annual cycle. And\, Autumn classes will focus on the fall migration. Each seasonal class will highlight the various birds present in the Arboretum\, and include observation & discussion of specific aspects of how their brains & bodies lead to certain behaviors useful in the Hoyt habitats. Short informal lectures and group discussions will be followed by exploratory bird-watching hikes to observe these processes in action. This event is coordinated byt Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Botanical Illustration: Hoyt's Herbarium Collection Comes To Life
DESCRIPTION:Join Brett Rousseau as she leads you through the journey of creating watercolor botanical illustrations based on HoytArboretum’s very own herbarium collection. We will use herbarium “vouchers” (plant samples that are pressed\, dried\, and mounted for cataloging Hoyt’s collection) as our muse. We will capture their leaves\, stems\, flowers\, and fruits with our imagination and paint brush. This is a great stepping stone to painting plants from life.  This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Following the Sun: Macro & Mindful Photography
DESCRIPTION:During this 2-hour sensory photography walk at Hoyt Arboretum\, we will follow morning light as the sun slowly rises through the landscape\, revealing tiny worlds\, glowing leaves\, and quiet details that often go unnoticed. This experience is an invitation to slow down and learn how to see with attention\, presence\, and curiosity. Your camera (digital or analog) or phone becomes a tool for noticing.  As light gradually enters the Arboretum’s coves of sequoias and redwoods\, sun turns the forest into a “cathedral built by bark and leaves\,” as John Steinbeck wrote in Travels with Charley. Together\, we will explore how sunlight transforms textures\, shapes\, and colors — and how to translate those sensations into poetic images. By the end of the walk\, you will leave with new ways of seeing Hoyt Arboretum and its diverse ecosystem and a small collection of vibrant\, nature-inspired images. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.

SUMMARY:Rediscovering Green: A Watercolor Wander Among the Trees
DESCRIPTION:Think green is just… green? The forest has a few tricks up its leaves. 🍃 Join this playful\, hands-on watercolor workshop where we’ll explore the many moods of green—from mossy and muted to bright and electric—right in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Hosted by Friends of Hoyt Arboretum\, this experience begins with a relaxed introduction to color theory\, where you’ll paint a watercolor color wheel and mix your own custom greens. Then we’ll step outside and wander into the arboretum\, sketchbooks in hand\, to capture the incredible variety of greens found in leaves\, needles\, ferns\, and more. Whether you’re a watercolor beginner\, a tree enthusiast\, or just looking for a fresh way to connect with nature\, this workshop invites you to slow down\, observe closely\, and maybe even turn over a new leaf in your creative practice. You’ll leave with new painting skills\, a deeper appreciation for the forest\, and a whole new way of seeing green on your next hike. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.
