Mission Statement
To create a living museum that enriches the quality of life by providing a place for the appreciation and study of plants and the preservation of the natural environment.
Description
Inspired by trees and seeds already planted, Friends of Boone County Arboretum sprouted in October, 2002. It is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization created to support and promote the Arboretum as a living museum. Friends members are advocates for the Arboretum in the community at large, showing others the value of this unique resource. Friends seek to create community awareness and participation at the arboretum by involving schools, sporting groups, community organizations, individuals, the business community, and garden clubs. These groups can become involved through memberships, donations, and active volunteer projects. Membership in this non-profit organization is a commitment to the education of people of all ages in the Greater Cincinnati area.
