Time to Think about Membership Renewal

Once again the sea­sons turn, and it will soon be time to renew your Lan­dis Arbore­tum membership.

The mem­ber­ship year runs from May 1 to April 30 of each year; renewals (or new mem­ber­ships) received from the begin­ning of our mem­ber­ship dri­ve in Octo­ber will receive the remain­der of the exist­ing mem­ber­ship year plus the entire next mem­ber­ship year – in oth­er words, join or renew now and be cur­rent through April 30, 2016. You may access a mem­ber­ship form on our web­site at www​.lan​dis​ar​bore​tum​.org, or you may join or renew on the site using Pay­Pal (small admin­is­tra­tive fee). You may also use your cred­it card by call­ing the Arbore­tum at (518) 875‑6935.

There are many ben­e­fits to being a mem­ber, includ­ing a 10% dis­count on plants at our spring and fall plant, book, and bake sales, and, at the Fam­i­ly lev­el or high­er, dis­counts on a class or event. In addi­tion, thanks to Native Plant Trail Cura­tor Ed Miller and ECOS: The Envi­ron­men­tal Clear­ing House, we are offer­ing PDF ver­sions of Ed’s two book­lets, Trees and Shrubs of the Cap­i­tal Region of New York: A Guide to Species Iden­ti­fi­ca­tion, and Ferns of the Cap­i­tal Region of New York: A Guide to Species Iden­ti­fi­ca­tion. But per­haps the best ben­e­fit is that your mem­ber­ship dona­tion helps main­tain the Arbore­tum for you and your fam­i­ly, and for gen­er­a­tions to come.
