he year 2019 was a momentous one for the Morris Arboretum. After 43 years (28 of them as director), Paul Meyer retired and, after a brief interlude, I have taken theT helm. What I suspected as an outsider looking in has been heartily confirmed in these past few months—Paul­ has done a simply remarkable job in lifting this organization to new heights he Morris Arboretum with steadfast leadership and most importantly, sound fiscal management. Having come from a young organization with a small endowment and great pressure on earned revenues, it is very of the University of clear that the endowments that Paul helped build have freed the Arboretum from the financial insecurity that holds back many inspires an nonprofits.

Tunderstanding of the relationship Among the Arboretum’s many achievements in 2019, there are two that stand out as particularly important. First is the endowing and between plants, people, and place naming of a chief arborist position. Thanks to the generosity of The McCausland Foundation and John and Janet Haas, our newly through education, research, and named Paul W. Meyer Chief Arborist position is fully endowed and will be filled in 2020. Second, we received a significant gift from horticultural display. Martha J. Wallace and Edward W. Kane to expand endowments for the Arboretum’s Natural Areas. The Natural Areas include the meadows and floodplain, Paper Mill Run, Woodland Trail along the Wissahickon, the Out on a Limb exhibit, and the newly named Wallace-Kane Wetland. These areas are important habitat Photo: Amanda DeLeo for an array of wildlife, in particular, resident and migratory birds. The Martha J. Wallace and Edward Kane Endowment for the Natural Lands will provide us vital stewardship resources to both preserve this area and to promote biological diversity.

Ellen and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bob Gutowski for stepping in as interim director between Paul’s retirement in March and my arrival in July. I would like to thank Ellen, Marie Witt, Vice President of Business Services at the University, and the rest of the search committee for choosing me to be the next leader of this great organization!

Finally, thank you for your commitment to the Arboretum. Your support makes it possible to do so many things like undertaking critical research on endangered species, planning collecting trips to bring uncommon plants into cultivation for research and evaluation, and welcoming thousands of schoolchildren who would otherwise not be able to visit. We are deeply grateful! Photo: Ken Tapp Ken Photo:

The 13-institution partnership, led by the Morris Arboretum has, to date, more than 1.1 million herbarium specimens in Natural Areas, enhancing horticulture display and building various stages of the digitization workflow. This represents a significant contribution to the worldwide effort to make museum collections throughout the garden, and a plant collecting specimenS data more readily available for further scientific research. expeditionH to the main island of Honshu, Japan. Expeditions such as Dr. Cindy Skema continued research on the Dombeyoideae subfamily of the Malvaceae (cotton family), tropical plants found in these are the primary way to build the diversity and conservation value of Madagascar and other places where species conservation is of critical concern. Dr. Skema traveled to Paris last summer to work on the Arboretum’s living collections. specimens in the herbarium at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, as well as to train in some newer molecular biology techniques. In the fall of 2012 Anthony Aiello and Michael Dosmann of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University travelled to Virginia to collect seed of live (Quercus virginiana). In light of climate change, warmer winters, and a change in Pennsylvania’s USDA hardiness zone, the goal of this trip was to test the wider adaptability of live oak. Twelve collections of seed were gathered from the northernmost cultivated and a natural population of live oak. The goal is to screen these for their ability to grow from the Delaware Valley to Boston.

Large numbers of seed from this trip germinated and for the first few winters were grown in containers and overwintered in heated and un-heated . This allowed winnowing of their numbers, keeping those that looked best and removing those that suffered even in protected conditions.

In the fall of 2016, 36 of the four-year-old trees were planted at Bloomfield Farm. Over the course of the three winters, various responses have been recorded. In observing the trees in the last year, some have become respectable-looking trees. They will be evaluated for two more winters with the best trees then selected for transplanting throughout Bloomfield Farm and the public garden.

ore than 260 volunteers contributed nearly 12,000 hours in FY19. They offered their skills and time to operations in every department. Staff members mentored individual volunteers in areas such as horticulture or education, while others serve in areas such as on the Directors’ Guild and the Guides Council. The Arboretum’s Advisory MBoard and annual event committees were also volunteer-supported. The Morris Arboretum is grateful for the service of its loyal volunteers. Many of them, in turn, were happy to share what makes their experiences so meaningful:

“The Arboretum opens up incredible new opportunities and experiences to me throughout the year. Deciding to volunteer here was the best choice I made after I retired.” – Pat Moir, Arboretum Guide

“I get to spend all four seasons at one of the most beautiful places in Philadelphia. And you throw in talking to kids? What’s not to like?” – David Mitchell, Arboretum Guide

“It’s always an adventure to mine the archives for stories of the Arboretum when it was a private estate called Compton—I Photos: Yanna Shellman,Wild Stems never know what nugget will catch my eye in the pages of a leather-bound diary or a stack of faded invoices and thus begins another essay or article or presentation.” – Joyce H. Munro (Volunteer archivist and author of Untold Stories of Compton)

“I find volunteering at the Arboretum to be a truly educational experience. Whether I’m planting, pruning, weeding, working in the , or guiding, I always learn something new. I credit my experience as a volunteer with prompting me to enroll in the Barnes Foundation Horticulture Certificate Program, a wonderful educational opportunity which I loved and use almost every day either at Morris Arboretum or in my own garden.” – Donna Hecker, Horticulture Volunteer

“It is always a pleasure to chat with visitors and hear how much they are enjoying their walk about the Arboretum. Not surprisingly, many of them volunteer at a garden back home and appreciate the work we do.” – Hiram Munger, Horticulture Volunteer. Photos: Paul W. Meyer and Alessandra Rella

he Arboretum continued to celebrate its relationship with the Penn community including through its outreach efforts to Penn students. Highlights from last year include engaging student groups to perform at the Arboretum’s Korean Festival and Holiday Garden Railway opening. More than 200 students took advantage of complimentary Tbuses to the Arboretum throughout the year to relax outside or enjoy a weekend event. Connection with students on campus continues to grow as the Arboretum, Facilities & Real Estate Services, and Penn Traditions come together to plant a tree for each freshman class on campus during Homecoming weekend thanks to the generosity of Kathie and Bill Hohns (W ’74). This past year marked the 12th tree planted on campus for the entire Penn Community to enjoy.

iscal year 2019 was a banner year for fundraising at the Morris Arboretum! The Arboretum’s family of friends and donors contributed more than $7 million to a diverse array of programs and projects benefiting all areas of Arboretum operations. All told, the Arboretum received more than 5,600 contributions designated to 57 discrete funds. Many ofF these contributions were made to membership, the Annual Fund, and Moonlight & , providing ever-important unrestricted support for ongoing activities. The donor lists on the following pages reflect all giving to the Arboretum and to the Ever Green campaign in 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the Arboretum raised $27.6 million toward the $36 million campaign goal, which will close online June 30, 2021.

DESIGNATED SUPPORT

Other gifts were targeted to specific priority projects. For example, several key gifts to endowment in FY19 will help to ensure fiscal stability in future years, irrespective of ebbs and flows in the economy. Notably, early in the fiscal year, a major endowment gift was received to maintain, grow, and protect the Arboretum’s natural lands, an area increasinglyPhoto: noted Paul for Meyer its environmental value and organic beauty.

Important gifts for historic preservation efforts across the Arboretum were also received, including restoration of the architectural features in the stunning Garden, renovation of the beloved , and ongoing programming and maintenance at the ever-popular Garden Railway.

FAREWELL TO PAUL MEYER

FY19 also saw an outpouring of philanthropic affection for retiring Executive Director Paul W. Meyer. More than $1 million was contributed to endowments for Historic Preservation, a cause that Paul had championed for decades. Of that total, nearly $450,000 was contributed directly to the Paul W. Meyer and Debra Rodgers Historic Preservation Fund as a lasting tribute to his 43 years of service at the Arboretum. Further, by year’s end, two major endowment gifts helped to establish a Chief Arborist position­—aptly named the Paul W. Meyer Chief Arborist—which will strengthen and elevate arboreal efforts both within and beyond the Arboretum’s gates for decades to come.

EDUCATION AND OUTREACH

The Arboretum is becoming an increasingly sought-after resource for information and education—especially among younger audiences—about the changing environment and its impact on the Philadelphia region. To this end, FY19 saw growing interest among philanthropists in establishing and supporting endowments at the Arboretum that support the educational mission. Gifts totaling nearly $400,000 helped to establish the Education Endowment Fund for Underserved Children, which ensures that schoolchildren, regardless of their school’s or family’s financial circumstances, will have access to the Arboretum’s resources.

The Arboretum remains grateful for the ongoing support of its members, donors, and friends. For myriad reasons, the Morris Arboretum is a special place for so many. More than a garden destination, it is a living classroom for all ages and a playground for learning. It is a green oasis and respite for the body and mind. It is at once all of these things and more, and all of these efforts are made possible only through the generosity and commitment of the Arboretum’s community of donors.
