Mission & Strategies
In 2009, Holden's Board of Directors adopted a new vision and set of strategic goals:
The Holden Arboretum envisions a Northeast Ohio in which trees, forests, and gardens provide maximum ecological and social benefits to the region’s people and communities.
- Growing Trees and Communities: Interconnected networks of trees and wooded environments – from street trees to home gardens to green spaces – sustain the ecological health of the communities where we live and work.
|
- Conserving Native Forests: The diversity, health, function, and ecological services of forested ecosystems in human-impacted landscapes are conserved for future generations.
|
- Engaging Children With Plants: Children have an appreciation for and knowledge of regional plants and their environments, and will be able to apply their understanding to real-life situations.
|
- Place and Purpose: People value Holden as an enjoyable and enriching place to visit and as an important institution that inspires popular support for improving trees, forests, and communities of the region.
|
The Holden Arboretum connects people with nature for inspiration and enjoyment, fosters learning and promotes conservation.
