3 When The Holden Arboretum & Cleveland Botanical Garden began to consider joining forces, what excited us most was the prospect of impacting our world in ever more meaningful ways. When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. John Muir We already shared strong strategic alignment, more than even we realized at first. So our challenge was to focus ourselves, to select from an infinite number of possible aspirations and roles we might play to realize those aspirations. The result is what you are about to read, our first unified strategic plan. We present our vision for the future: the future of our new organization, and the future of the world Northeast Ohio, the Great Lakes region, and beyond that we seek to engage. The process itself was especially gratifying, not only for the fresh and creative ideas we heard and generated, but also for confirming that we have a wealth of present and potential partners and stakeholders who share our ambitions, and with whom collaboration will yield our greatest successes. Around two hundred workshops and interviews laid a foundation of what I called high-grade ore, the ideas and observations we would mine in succeeding months to create our plan. As the ideas gelled, our plan benefited from thoughtful participation by our organizations staff, directors, and stakeholders, especially as we made the tough choices that are the hallmark of any successful plan: strategic focus. Special recognition is due our friends at Smithink, Linda and David Smith, for facilitating such a rational and well-ordered process. We are the only public garden organization with such significant footprints and opportunities in both urban and exurban settings: the botanical garden, set in a remarkably vibrant cultural center, Cleveland s University Circle; and the arboretum, 3,600 acres of ecologically diverse natural areas, large-scale gardens, research plots, and scientifically curated collections of woody plants. Our outward perspective shines through our vision statement, which is not a vision for our organization per se, but rather our vision for the world we will help create, and that we will celebrate as it evolves through our work and leadership. As the years unfold, we look forward to our communities becoming ever greener and more vibrant, and our native forests regaining and retaining their unique, diverse character. Our human and natural worlds are becoming increasingly dynamic, from societal evolution to changing climate to globalization of cultures and biota. It is that context that makes our work, and that of everyone who shares our aspirations, so important and urgent. Thank you for sharing our vision, and for being part of our great enterprise. Gratefully yours, Clement W. Hamilton, Ph.D. President and CEO 4 5
4 Our Mission Our Vision Advance and inspire a deeper understanding of plants to enhance life. Vibrant green communities and diverse native forests of the Great Lakes region will flourish and sustain life. Advance to create knowledge; to take a leadership role inspire to engage and foster an appreciation in others deeper understanding research, education, understanding of sustainability issues inspire a deeper understanding opportunity for creativity in how we share our knowledge; sharing the vital importance that plants have to all life to enhance life rich destination and outreach experiences that engage and enlighten; to have a lasting and positive impact on the life of all living beings Vibrant green communities environmentally balanced and sustainable ecosystems from urban to rural and from grassland to forest based on sound, scientifically-based practices diverse native forests biodiversity and genetic diversity with native integrity of all plant life Great Lakes region the stage on which we will provide influence and have our most direct impact flourish and sustain life... that can be sustainable in a regionally relevant and responsible manner; enrich the life of all living beings 6 7
5 Our Vision Themes These guide our priorities and represent the content we will focus on and the impact we intend to achieve. Our Vision Themes Biodiversity Green Infrastructure DEFINITION: The variety of life on Earth at all levels. Includes variability within species, between species and between ecosystems. Also includes genetic variation, morphological and functional variation within and between species, and ecosystem variation. WHY IT S IMPORTANT: It underlies the stability of ecosystems and ecological services. Providing clean air, clean water, maintenance of soil fertility, and habitat for plant and animal life. WE WILL: Conduct impactful ecological research. Improve and utilize our collections, gardens, and natural areas. Conduct plant and environmental science education for K-12 students. DEFINITION: The interconnected network of open spaces and natural areas. Includes greenways, wetlands, parks, forest preserves and native vegetation to naturally manage storm water, reduce the risk of floods, capture pollution, improve water quality and mitigate climate change. WHY IT S IMPORTANT: It builds resilient communities through plant-based solutions. These are often more cost-effective and capable of meeting social, environmental and economic objectives than grey infrastructure. WE WILL: Document and advocate for the functional importance of trees and other plants. Demonstrate effective green infrastructure, both on- and off-campus. Offer technical expertise and partnership to decision-makers and engineering professionals. 8 9
6 Our Vision Themes Our Vision Themes Sustainable Land Use Plant & Environmental Literacy DEFINITION: The integration of the management of land and water resources. While protecting ecosystem services with increasing demands for food, fiber and housing resulting from rapidly growing populations. DEFINITION: A population that has awareness, understanding, knowledge and desire. They incorporate appropriate environmental considerations into their daily decisions about individual and community lifestyle, thereby positively impacting the world around them. WHY IT S IMPORTANT: Improper land management leads to ecological degradation. And a significant reduction in the productive ecosystem service functions of our watersheds and landscapes. WE WILL: Foster sound forest management practices and sustainable utilization from logging to forest farming to recreation by forest landowners, both private and public, and restore, improve, and interpret Holden s forests as demonstration landscapes. Promote food production in both urban and natural environments. WHY IT S IMPORTANT: It s critical to long term success in the achievement of an ecologically healthy and sustainable environment. This requires helping citizens of all ages, economic and social groups, from urban to rural, to achieve higher levels of plant and environmental literacy. WE WILL: Conduct school and community youth education programs. Interpret our gardens, forests, plant collections, exhibits and special events to advance community knowledge. Be an active and credible source of information on plant-related topics most relevant to our mission

9 Platforms of Execution Advancing Our Mission And Ultimately Creating Impact 5 areas of Strategic Focus Basis Of Identifying Key Strategic Goals Attract & Engage Audiences We will attract targeted audiences in a manner that is both relevant to them and that engages them, whether it be the experiences we create (and provide) on our campuses, our outreach efforts, our various forms of communication, our research or even our approach to long term planning. Advance & Share Knowledge A core, unique and powerful strength of our organization is our base of knowledge and our ability to share it. Building upon this base with further research, and sharing our knowledge with the audiences we attract and engage, is foundational in advancing our Mission. Demonstrate & Inspire Action Nationally Recognized Research Compelling & Relevant Destinations Outreach with Impact Distinctive Image A critically important dimension of our Mission is to create an impact. While in some cases the impact may result from our research and/or work that we directly undertake, the power of demonstrating and inspiring others to take action will exponentially increase the impact we desire to achieve.
