In addition to the 3,500 acres of display areas and natural woodlands, the Arboretum has approximately 1,400 acres in conservation easements and approximately 29 acres at the Leach Research station in Madison, OH. The Arboretum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. The mission of the organization is to advance and inspire a deeper understanding of plants to enhance life is achieved through science, education, and horticulture programs. The Holden Arboretum programs are integrated with those of the Cleveland Botanical Garden, an urban botanical garden in the City of Cleveland. The combined programming of two campuses with different geographies creates even more opportunity for impact in Northeast Ohio. The two organizations represent the 12th largest garden/arboretum in the United States.OrganizationIn fiscal year 2017 there was a change in executive leadership. Clem Hamilton left the organization in February 2017, and a national search was conducted to find a new President and CEO. Paul Abbey, formerly chairman of the Board of Directors, served as interim President and CEO from February to September. Jill Koski was hired in late September 2017 to serve as the new President and CEO of The Holden Arboretum and Cleveland Botanical Garden, d.b.a. Holden Forests & Gardens. Ms. Koski has more than 25 years of experience in the nonprofit field working with cultural institutions. Prior to joining The Holden Arboretum, she worked at The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL for more than ten years, and at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, IL for ten years. The Holden Arboretum had continued growth in attendance, increasing by 13% to 202,000 visitors. The increase is primarily attributed to the Canopy Walk and Emergent Tower that opened in late 2015. The walk and tower show ongoing appeal to new audiences of all ages. Member households maintained at 20,000, largely driven by the new audiences for the Canopy Walk and Emergent Tower as well as the added benefit of admission to both the Arboretum campus and the Cleveland Botanical Garden campus. Research and Living CollectionsIn FY17, research staff published 10 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals including American Journal of Botany, Functional Ecology, Journal of Applied Ecology, Landscape Research and Oecologia. Research staff presented 10 scientific lectures at universities and scientific meetings and presented 5 popular lectures to green industry professionals, garden clubs and Holden members. Holden research continued to advance and improve partnerships with local institutions. Research staff furthered collaborations between Holden and the Cleveland Metroparks including the Metroparks Zoo, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), Kent State University and Cleveland State University. We are also exploring future collaborations with the Wilds to explore potential research in restoration ecology. Holden staff continues to work to organize Holden's extensive environmental and biological data sets in cooperation with other Holden departments such as Horticulture and Conservation (aka "Holden Big Data"). All library research holdings and plant accession records are now digitized and archived in the research "Big Data Dropbox, and we are working on obtaining all published research conducted at Holden by visiting researchers. Holden scientists served on graduate student committees for five Ph.D. students at Case Western Reserve University (2), Kent State University (2) and Ohio State University (1). Holden hosted 17 undergraduate interns in the summer of 2016 on projects ranging from examining acid rain and forest health, to soil ecology and plant physiology. Research staff performed outreach to high school and middle school students in soil and plant ecology. Community ForestryDuring 2017, Holden's Community Forestry program continued to expand its outreach efforts into Northeast Ohio and in particular the City of Cleveland. Holden received a $500,000 grant from the Cleveland Foundation in FY 17 to advance community forestry programs through policy development and through creation of a work force development program called TreeCorps. TreeCorps will train workers for a career in the tree care industry through classroom and active hand on learning during a nineteen-week program. Horticulture At the Arboretum during the spring and fall planting seasons, there were 395 trees and shrubs planted, and over 1,167 herbaceous perennial plants planted. There are currently 5,256 taxa (species, varieties, cultivars) in the living plant collection, 3,447 of which are woody. The Plant Collections Curator continued to provide horticultural information to the public year-round, and responded to 245 contacts during the year with questions on plant identification, landscape plant selection and sources, plant pests and diseases, horticultural practices and a range of related subjects. As a participant in the International Seed Exchange, Holden Nursery Staff distributed 176 packets of seed representing 9 different species native to Ohio on request and at no charge to 64 sister institutions in 24 countries around the world and 3 states within the U.S.ConservationThe Conservation department continues its efforts to manage invasive plant species across all of Holden's natural areas, and core. Garlic mustard and shrub and vine invasive plants including buckthorn, honeysuckle, privet, and Asian bittersweet are primary target species.Staff continued a bat survey in Stebbins Gulch Natural Area initiated in 2016. The Corning Lake restoration project was also initiated in 2014 and work continued through 2017 to monitor the lake water quality in terms of nutrients, dissolved oxygen, and pH. Conservation staff is developing a Management plan for Holden's natural areas. This plan will guide future efforts in these areas to ensure that Holden's forest are responsibly managed to conserve their health and diversity. A key component of this plan is the Rapid Upland Forest Assessment, developed by conservation staff and implemented at 130 sites in the Stebbins Gulch Natural Area in 2016 and an additional 70 in 2017. Staff also developed the Spring Ephemeral Rapid Assessment in 2015 as a complimentary tool for assessing forest plant communities and assessed Stebbins Gulch Natural Area in 2017. Conservation staff has documented the extent and severity of the Emerald Ash Borer and the Beech Leaf Disease within the Stebbins Gulch Natural Area. Conservation staff have also found Beech Leaf Disease in all of Holden's natural areas and continues to work with experts and partners to describe and determine the cause of this affliction which is still currently unknown. 6940604 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 83 0 1 80 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 39 38 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 OH X KATHLEEN HEFLIN 4409464400 9500 SPERRY ROAD KIRTLAND OH 440945172 X Constance Norweb Abbey Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul R Abbey Interim President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas D Anderson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Biggar Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Victoria U Broer Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barbara Brown Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Coleman Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 William Conway Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan E Dick Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul E DiCorleto Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert R Galloway Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Julia ES Grant Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert D Gries Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah L Gries Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Debra Guren Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Hellman Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Hewitt Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela Jacobson Oliva Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ellen W Jones Nordell Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph P Keithley Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Kleinhenz Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Verne D Klunzinger Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen J Knerly Jr Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph J Mahovlic Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael C Marino Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Moore Hardy Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ruth Moorhead Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maura O'Donnell McCarthy Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Deidrea Otts Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Outcalt Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 C W Eliot Paine Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erin K Ryan Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robin D Schachat Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lynn C Shiverick Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ruth Stafford Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KK Sullivan Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bradley Turner Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Charles F Walton Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GARY POTH DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Clement W Hamilton President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 230125 0 36003 Jim Ansberry CFO & Treasurer 40.00 0.00 X 184269 0 27453 Deborah Ryan Assistant Secretary 40.00 0.00 X 75143 0 19210 David Burke Chair, Research 40.00 0.00 X 104651 0 21183 Brian Parsons Chief Planning Officer 40.00 0.00 X 105692 0 20032 Paul Spector VP Community Engagement 40.00 0.00 X 136898 0 18304 Nancy Spelman Chief - Human Resources 40.00 0.00 X 131884 0 23021 968662 0 165206 6 0 1 0 MINUTE MAN PO BOX 78000 DETROIT MI 48278 SEASONAL LABOR 276655 WALKER BROTHERS ROOFING 284 RICHMOND STREET PAINESVILLE OH 44077 CONSTRUCTION 197350 RIVERREACH CONSTRUCTION 92 31ST STREET NW NORTON OH 44203 CONSTRUCTION 172142 JCI CONTRACTORS 529 W PROSPECT RD STE 101 ASHTABULA OH 44004 CONSTRUCTION 109320 4 199267 8362051 769860 8561318 ADMISSIONS 900099 659606 659606 EDUCATION COURSES 611600 188188 188188 847794 285261 285261 182134 0 182134 182134 182134 422626 2126012 944022 118511 -521396 2007501 1486105 1486105 75529 199267 137621 -62092 -62092 161550 85682 75868 75868 OTHER REVENUE 900099 10159 10159 CENTER FOR PLANT CONSERVATION 900099 9337 9337 19496 11395884 867290 0 1967276 533469 410995 81824 40650 3677660 2845865 555499 276296 214221 165646 32704 15871 358494 268907 59832 29755 287846 215914 48041 23891 34485 21644 12841 40350 25325 15025 620126 344921 208934 66271 63615 63050 565 87046 50982 25006 11058 21765 4258 16108 1399 256113 220453 25838 9822 145897 62474 78019 5404 27511 27511 1026871 884972 71402 70497 122655 94588 28067 EDUC.&PROMOTIONAL EXP. 636299 541773 56559 37967 LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE 351064 345217 5847 BLDG.& EQUIP.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4 - PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISH.(CONT'D): Education programs for all ages The Holden Arboretum's educational programming engages individuals of all ages with plants and other aspects of the natural world to enhance fundamental learning, appreciation of nature and health and wellness. During 2017, our work with 17,732 students of northeast Ohio focused on providing programming which addressed the Ohio State Science Standards. The Arboretum's school programs encourage students to take an active role in learning. Hands-on investigations and discussions in a natural setting encourage students to discover and gather information, ask questions and begin to formulate answers or methods for obtaining answers for themselves. In 2017, our keystone program, Growing Students in Science, accounted for 11,882 students in 12 districts, outreach programs accounted for 399 students of the total 17,732. In addition, professional development opportunities are provided that offer teachers a chance to increase content knowledge in the natural sciences and help them with pedagogy related to teaching science. These range from one week graduate level classes to after school sessions. In addition, workshops are presented at numerous teacher conferences each year. A total of 186 teachers from grades K-12 attended 6 separate workshops during 2017. Holden offered 140 Adult classes/lectures in the areas of horticulture, natural history, forestry, art and wellness were offered on a quarterly basis to Arboretum members and the community at large. Approximately 2,525 registrations were received during 2017. Family programs are designed to engage children and parents in outdoor activities that encourage exploration and learning. Thirty-eight classes were offered through the class schedule while other experiences were offered as drop-in" programs. These range from habitat discoveries to nature crafts and Quest hunts. Interpreting and explaining the varied assets of the Arboretum is accomplished through a variety of on-site programs for visitors. Visitors can take advantage of guided tours, brochures, maps, interpretative panels, interactive exhibits, plant identification labels, or our audio and web-based Guide by Cell programs that provide information about plants and other features. The library collection focuses on horticulture and natural history and serves primarily as an information resource for staff, members, and people from the community. Members may check out books. The catalog is available online and available through the Arboretum website. A collection of rare horticultural books is available to scholars. Public Programs and Special Events Holden engages its members and reaches out to new audiences with yearly festivals and special events. More than 23,230 people participated in these special programs in 2017. The festivals are family-centered to encourage a love of nature and the outdoors in young children and to build and sustain our large donor base. The festivals are Goblins in the Gardens and a Celebration of Trees Festival. In addition Holden produces Plant Sales, Wine Tastings, and a Pancake Breakfast. Holden' outdoor garden concert series continued to grow in 2017 attracting audiences of 700 for each concert. Additional programming for general visitors included art shows, photography exhibits, rare book exhibits, tram tours, and guided tours of the Main Display Garden and natural areas. Programming exists to meet the needs of visitors, special interest groups such as bird clubs, garden clubs, hiking organizations, and other relevant not-for-profit organizations. Holden's facility rental program uses our indoor and outdoor facilities to enable weddings, receptions, showers, and small meetings to both individuals and groups. In 2017, rental events engaged over 6,800 people. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 REPORTABLE RELATIONSHIPS - THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS HAVE A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP: PAUL R.
