Organizations Filed Purposes: OUR MISSION IS TO ENGAGE PEOPLE WITH NATURE THROUGH INTERACTIVE LEARNING AND STEWARDSHIP.

MOUNT PISGAH ARBORETUM IS A 209-ACRE NATURAL AREA WHERE VISITORS EXPLORE SOUTHERN WILLAMETTE VALLEY ECOLOGY ON OUR SEVEN MILES OF FAMILY-FRIENDLY TRAILS. LOCATED WITHIN A 2,200-ACRE LANE COUNTY PARK, WE HOST 400,000 YEARLY VISITS. WE ARE SUPPORTED BY 1,800 MEMBERS, AND ENGAGE MORE THAN 500 VOLUNTEERS. THE ARBORETUM HAS INVESTED OVER A MILLION DOLLARS TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THE PARK. WE CONSTRUCTED AND MAINTAIN THE PARK'S MAIN PARKING LOT, ITS PRIMARY PUBLIC RESTROOMS, AND POTABLE WATER SYSTEM. IN 2005 WE OPENED THE BEAUTIFUL WHITE OAK PAVILION, WHICH NOW HELPS SUPPORT OUR NATURE EDUCATION PROGRAMS BY SERVING AS A VENUE FOR WEDDINGS, MEMORIALS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS.

THE ARBORETUM PROVIDES NATURE EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR 11,000 CHILDREN AND ADULTS. EACH YEAR 3,000 K-5 STUDENTS DISCOVER THE WONDERS OF NATURE ON FIELD TRIPS LED BY OUR TRAINED VOLUNTEERS. WE PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR 50- 80% OF THESE CHILDREN WHO COME FROM LOW-INCOME HOMES. 2,000 ADULTS AND FAMILIES ENJOY OUR GUIDED NATURE WALKS, NATURAL HISTORY WORKSHOPS, AND A FREE PLAY IN THE RAIN DAY EVENT. ANOTHER 6,000 VISITORS LEARN ABOUT NATURE AT OUR ANNUAL WILDFLOWER AND MUSHROOM FESTIVALS.

IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WE'VE BEEN DEVELOPING PERMANENT EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS AIMED AT ENGAGING MORE PARK VISITORS IN LEARNING ABOUT SOUTHERN WILLAMETTE VALLEY ECOLOGY. FOUR EXHIBITS ARE NOW IN PLACE. WE PLAN TO CREATE THREE MORE AFTER THAT, AS WELL AS A NEW KIOSK AT THE ARBORETUM'S ENTRANCE.
