In the Spring of 2025, the Historic Albany Foundation and the Pine Hollow Arboretum (PHA) welcomed Mary Valentis, daughter of Blatner and Larry Wilson, partner at MCWB to have a conversation about Albany Architect, Henry Blatner. PHA is working on designating the 3 homes on Pine Hollow Rd., including it's own visitor center, to be nominated on the National Register of Historic Places as the Henry Blatner Historic District.
To learn more about this architect, watch the video below.

The Pine Hollow Arboretum is thrilled to welcome back Levi O'Brien this Fall. Attend one or both of these Saturday Programs! $30/person and advanced registration is required as these programs do sell-out.

He is on faculty at the New York Botanical Garden, a Graduate student at SUNY ESF studying Forest Pathology, and a green-woodworker.

Come join in the Samhain Celebration at Pine Hollow Arboretum with a Mindfulness / Forest Bathing Walk on Saturday, November 1st from 3pm to 5:30pm.
Samhain, also Day of the Dead, marks the start of winter - a time of harvest and ushers in the dark half of the year. If you are uncomfortable with the darkest days of winter, come and celebrate the change of season with us while connecting with nature. We will share ways to embrace the colder, darker days rather than loathe them.
We will be exploring nature with fresh eyes as we saunter through the woods, slowing your pace as you join others for an individual experience in a group setting. During the walk we may focus on the various stages of the woodland as we saunter. At the end of the saunter we will enjoy a sit spot followed by tea, a snack, and a small bonfire. Please dress appropriately for the weather.
This experience is led by Sandy Wilson (Spirit of Dragonflies, LLC) on Friday, November 1, from 3:00 - 5:30 pm. Sandy is a certified Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Leader, End of Life Doula, and Therapeutic Touch (TT) Practitioner.
