Celebrating trees & community
Beneath the Pines 2026
Our Online Auction is now LIVE.
General Admission Tickets now Available, click here.
The Pine Hollow Arboretum's signature fundraising event of the year, our annual Beneath the Pines Gala will be taking place, for the first time ever, at the Pine Hollow Arboretum. During this event we bring together PHA members, tree enthusiasts and arboretum visitors and supporters for a truly exceptional evening. This event is a vital component of our efforts to support PHA's mission and to maintain the beauty and preservation of the Pine Hollow Arboretum.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS
This event will take place on Thursday, April 30th from 6pm to 9pm at the Pine Hollow Arboretum (34 Pine Hollow Rd. Slingerlands, NY 12159). This event will sell-out. Additional information to follow regarding parking and shuttle service.
LEAF OF LEGACY AWARD
This year, the prestigious Leaf of Legacy award will posthumously go to Dr. John W. Abbuhl, the founder of the arboretum. It is only fitting that we honor the man who created what the arboretum is today- a museum of trees from around the world and a vital community space for arts, culture and educational programming for all ages. Without his vision and passion, the arboretum and collection of trees wouldn't exist. We will celebrate his achievements and legacy in the historic mid-century house that he raised his family in.
PARKING & OTHER DETAILS
Parking at the Pine Hollow Arboretum is limited. A shuttle has been secured to transport guests back and forth from Slingerlands Elementary School (25 Union Ave Slingerlands) to the arboretum during the event. Please consider parking at Slingerlands Elementary School and taking the shuttle provided. It is a 4 minute drive.
