Hoyt Arboretum is a living museum of trees located in Washington Park in SW Portland, free for the public to enjoy. We offer year-round access to 12 miles of trails, 189 acres of forest, and more than 2,300 species of plants and trees from around the world. 500,000 people are estimated to use Hoyt Arboretum as a living classroom, outdoor gym, and spiritual sanctuary every year. At the heart of the Arboretum is the Visitor Center, a "busy hive of activity," which offers a gift shop and complimentary hot drinks. There's also the Bill deWeese Classroom, where one can join public tours, expert-led presentations, and classes on everything from wildlife tracking to botanical illustration. Our Magnolia, Maple and Conifer collections are nationally recognized, and at least 67 of our species are listed as rare or endangered in the wild.The Arboretum is supported by Hoyt Arboretum Friends, a membership-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working in partnership with Portland Parks & Recreation. The mission of Hoyt Arboretum Friends is to maintain and improve Hoyt Arboretum and its collection for all people through advocacy, resources, awareness and education. Donations to Hoyt Arboretum Friends directly impact species conservation, community science, and accessible recreation for all visitors as well as education programs for youth and adults.
