On behalf of Arboretum Associates, I am writing to notify you of a speaker program series that may be of interest to members of the Whitepine Chapter of the Idaho Native Plant Society.  Thank you!
2014 Arboretum Associates Speaker Program Series
In January, 2014, Arboretum Associates plan to launch a new annual speaker series designed to give members of the Associates and the community the opportunity to learn more about activities related to the continued development of the Arboretum and topics of interest related but not limited to plant, forest and rangeland science.
The series will begin January 16th in the Fiske Room of the 1912 Center at 7:00 PM, where Paul Warnick, University of Idaho Arboretum Horticulturist, will provide highlights of his educational tour of the Czech Republic sponsored by the International Dendrology Society. Dendrology is a branch of botany studying woody trees and shrubs.
 


The International Dendrology Society, based in Great Britain, strives to sponsor tours to various places all over the world to observe trees and shrubs in both their native habitats and cultivated gardens. Paul found the Czech Republic to be a horticultural treasure with an incredible number of public gardens, ranging from relatively recent botanic gardens to castle gardens dating back to the 1500s. His description of the 'behind the scenes' tour of many gardens and a private estate will hopefully convince any plant lover that the Czech republic would be a worthy destination.
On February 13th in the Fiske Room of the 1912 Center at 7:00 PM, Anthony S. Davis from the Department of Forest, Rangeland, and Fire Sciences in the College of Natural Resources will present a program entitled "Native Plant Production and Reforestation Efforts in Hawaii, Haiti, and Lebanon." Attendees will have the opportunity to learn how the University of Idaho Center for Forest Nursery and Seedling Research contributes to the reforestation of some of the world's most degraded forest land.
To conclude the series for 2014, the 37th Annual Meeting of the Arboretum Associates will be held April 10th in the Great Room of the 1912 Center. The event begins with a social at 6:00 p.m. featuring catered hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. At 6:30 a brief Arboretum Associates business meeting will convene followed by Paul Warnick's annual summary of developmental progress and events for the past year in the Arboretum.
