About Beneath the Pines:

The Pine Hollow Arboretum is hosting its annual fundraiser, Beneath the Pines on Thursday, April 30th from 6pm to 9pm. For the first time ever, we are excited to welcome everyone to our Founder, Dr. John W. Abbuhl's historic mid-century house for the event (34 Pine Hollow Rd. Slingerlands, NY 12159).
Enjoy an evening under the pines as we celebrate community, nature, and stewardship, set among the quiet beauty of the arboretum. As the sun dips and the pines rise overhead, guests are invited to gather for an intimate night of connection featuring seasonal fare, live music, engaging discussion, libations, auction items and moments of wonder and serenity as we encourage you to explore the trails in early Spring at the arboretum with a friend, acquaintance or partner. 
This fundraiser supports the arboretum’s mission to protect it's living horticultural collection of trees from around the world and native forests, expand environmental education programs, and ensure that the arboretum remains vibrant and accessible for generations to come. Every ticket, toast, and contribution helps sustain the arboretum we love.
