Annual Report 2015 Messages from Thomas D. Hewitt and Chipper Wichman

It is my great honor to serve as chairman of the National Tropical Botanical Garden. Although we have some of the most beautiful gardens in the world, and are respected worldwide for the science we do and the plants we save from extinction, it is the people – our superb staff, our Board, our supporters – that differentiate us from other world-class gardens. We are a hands-on organization and we are all willing to roll up our sleeves to work. On behalf of the Board, I thank each and every one of you.

— Tom Hewitt, Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Aloha to all of our Board members and supporters. After celebrating the Garden’s 50th anniversary in 2014, last year – 2015 – was an important one for the Garden. Not only did we continue with our half-century-long tradition of advancing plant science, conservation, and education, we welcomed new Board members, volunteers, and highly-skilled staff to help fulfill our mission.

The year 2015 saw noteworthy contributions to new plant discoveries and data published, and significant growth in our seed bank, herbarium, and living collections. From our five gardens and five preserves to the increasingly high-profile Breadfruit Institute, our inter-agency collaborations in science and conservation, and over a dozen exciting education and public outreach programs, NTBG continues to have an impact throughout Hawai‘i, the Pacific, and around the world.

Thanks to your support, the work we do helps promote a greater understanding and appreciation of our natural world while protecting the plant life that sustains all of us and the countless other creatures with whom we share this beautiful, fragile planet.

Thank you for your help and for playing a vital role in our continued and future success.

— Chipper Wichman, President, Director and Chief Executive Officer

1 Introduction

As Garden supporters, board members, staff, and volunteers, we all play a vital role in advancing the work of the National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG). Each of us contributes to helping our organization fulfill its mission to advance plant discovery, scientific research, conservation, and education. Most of us are not the field botanists rappelling down high cliff faces, exploring remote valleys, or botanizing in tropical forests in search of undiscovered plants yet we share their passion. We also hold a common belief in NTBG’s mission and a commitment to protecting the environment. And each of us has the potential to help save plants, better understand our natural world, and make this planet a better place for our children and grandchildren. As NTBG supporters, our impact can be measured in many ways — the number of plants collected and seeds saved, the acreage of wild habitat protected, and so on. But our impact extends far beyond these tangible signs and includes things like fostering a greater appreciation for the role of science in our daily lives, the value of promoting wildlife conservation, and advocating for a more biodiverse world. We believe NTBG plays a meaningful, even critical role in contributing to the health of the planet. Today we live in an age of great consequence when, even as many forms of life face unprecedented perils, we are also equipped with the tools, the experience, and the resolve to meet the most daunting of challenges — and to succeed. Climate change, environmental degradation, habitat destruction, and other ecological crises all threaten plant life and lead to the loss of irreplaceable biodiversity. The proverbial clock is ticking, we cannot afford to fail, and so our work continues. Your support is essential to our success, and vital to our survival. Together, we are having a positive impact.

2 3 Science and Conservation

In 2015, the Science and Conservation Department played an active role collaborating with the newly informed International Center for Tropical Botany and other partners in Hawai‘i and across the Pacific. The department made advances in taxonomic and floristics research, seed banking, rugged terrain field work, with NTBG collections and exhibitions, workshops, publications, and public outreach.

4 5 NTBG Science and Conservation staff contributed to discoveries and data published in 26 research papers and peer-reviewed journals and books.

In April, NTBG hired conservation biologist Program and other state agencies.

6 7 Living Collections and Horticulture

Finding, growing, collecting, and protecting plants is central to NTBG’s mission. The work of our Living Collections & Horticulture Department revolves around our Conservation and Horticulture Center on Kaua‘i’s South Shore. This is where our plant collectors, nursery staff, scientists, researchers, and even Garden visitors converge. By its very nature, this multi-faceted department is always growing and poised to have a great impact across the organization in Hawai‘i, Florida, and beyond.

10 11 Breadfruit Institute

The Breadfruit Institute (BFI) has become the international resource center for information regarding breadfruit.

As public awareness increases about the benefits of growing, eating, and conserving Among our many activities and achievements in 2015 are the following: More than 15,000 breadfruit, requests for guidance and data pour in from around the world. BFI has a well- breadfruit trees have been sent to six countries, bringing the total breadfruit tree distribution managed, world-class conservation collection of more than 120 breadfruit cultivars, an active since the launch of the Global Hunger Initiative in 2009 to 69,247 in 37 countries. Five and dynamic research program, productive outreach and education efforts. Through a myriad countries (Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Dominica, Cameroon, and Sri Lanka) received of partnerships, we also are planting thousands of trees throughout the tropics. breadfruit for the first time.

12 13 By the end of 2015, the Global Hunger Initiative, part of NTBG’s Breadfruit Institute, provided more than 65,000 breadfruit trees to 37 countries around the world in an effort to address food insecurity.

In BFI’s third year of our Plant a Tree of Life – Grow to a ”breadfruit vs. potato”public campaign ‘Ulu project, we distributed nearly 2,200 trees in organized by the Ho‘oulu ka ‘Ulu project that Hawai‘i and almost 4,000 trees to six countries included well-attended events and a social in the Caribbean, Africa, and Micronesia.

14 15 Education

Education is central to NTBG’s mission and evident in nearly every aspect of the organization from our programs and collaborations to our educational public garden tours and interpretive displays. In 2015, nearly 3,000 people enriched themselves by learning something at NTBG in one of more than a dozen programs, classes, workshops, or public lectures.

16 17 Through our Ka Mala project, we helped local school children learn about and experience traditional cultivation practices of Hawaiian sweet potatoes.

We believe people of all ages are naturally immersive environmental education. NTBG also curious about plants and the environment and, regularly offers a Science Teachers Enrichment given the chance, are eager to learn more.

18 19 South Shore Gardens Interpretation ,

The south shore of Kaua‘i is home to NTBG’s McBryde Garden, the adjacent Allerton Garden, and the South Shore Visitors Center. In 2015, we invested time and effort into revamping our interpretive signage with 38 new signs, doubling the number in McBryde Garden in order to improve our visitors’ experiences. Attractive and informative, the new in-house designed signs include easy- to-follow maps, directional wayfinding signs, and infographic signs that identify and educate garden visitors. Our Science and Conservation staff collaborated with our plant records and graphic design staff to make new plant identification signs aimed at visitors. The new laser-engraved anodized aluminum signs identify 188 key species using important markers like a plant’s scientific and common names, its native range, and multiple conservation status indicators. Similar signs were made for Kahanu Garden on Maui, with three large interpretive signs for the Kahanu Preserve also completed. Allerton Garden remains as it was originally designed — without signs. Interpretation of the exquisitely landscaped Allerton Garden is offered by tour guides and docents. In 2015, NTBG also contributed ten plant sign designs to the Botanical Gardens Conservation International “Care for the Rare” sign-sharing project.

20 21 South Shore Gardens Visitor Program KAUAI, HAWAII

By the end of 2015, our South Shore Gardens had welcomed 57,000 visitors (a nearly 17 percent increase over 2014).

In addition to our public tours, the South Shore Gardens were the setting for four large community events: the ”Roots ‘n’ Shoots” Fun Run, a Mother’s Day open house, and two Movie Nights in the Garden. Proving to be exceptionally popular, a combined 1,300 members of the community enjoyed watching Jurassic Park (in June) and Pirates of the Caribbean (in September).

22 23 As of 2015, 6,001 plants, or 80 percent of McBryde Garden’s living collections, have been mapped with new sophisticated mapping tools created to complete mapping efforts in Allerton Garden, Limahuli Garden, Kahanu Garden and .

NTBG’s South Shore infrastructure and In 2015, the South Shore Gardens hosted 18 facilities were significantly enhanced in 2015 weddings, photo shoots, and corporate events. with the largest project being the renovation and improvement of the South Shore Visitors In 2015, the McBryde Garden saw continued Center.

24 25 Limahuli Garden and Preserve KAUAI, HAWAII

Serving as a model for native plant conservation and the preservation of ancient Hawaiian land management, Limahuli Garden and Preserve is having a profound impact in the local community and beyond. In 2015, the Visitor Program grew by 12 percent over the previous year. We have a robust, full-spectrum education program that encompasses K-12 experiences, internships, and graduate student research, touching on all aspects of our work. By playing a leading role in our community through various initiatives, we’ve seen a greater appreciation for the value of Limahuli and, along with it, increased local support. Meanwhile, we continue to be involved in the master planning process for Hā‘ena State Park and the rule-making process for Hawai‘i’s first designated Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area efforts. NTBG continues to play a leadership role in the Hawai‘i Conservation Alliance (HCA), a conglomeration of 24 governmental, educational, and non-profit organizations that together provide unified leadership and advocacy for Hawai‘i’s most critical conservation issues. In this vein we have situated the work we are doing in Limahuli, and our larger community of Hā‘ena, as one of the models of holistic, ridge-to-reef, community-based, and culturally aligned conservation efforts in the state. Ours is a model community in HCA’s Watershed Snapshot initiative.

26 27 We have completed the “Limahuli Comprehensive more than 60 acres of remnant forest and Conservation Strategy,” and it is now an official restored areas from feral pigs. Because of the institutional document. The aim of this document collaborative, stakeholder-driven approach is to bring all existing and potential conservation used to engage the community and design the projects in the Limahuli Valley into alignment with fence line, ours is the first lowland ungulate the recently published, “Hawai’i Strategy for Plant fence in Hawai‘i to have 100 percent support Conservation,” and the latest recommendations from community hunters.

28 29 Kahanu Garden and Preserve HANA, MAUI, HAWAII

Situated between the rugged coast of east Maui and the towering Pi‘ilani Hale heiau – a National Despite its remote location, Kahanu Garden remains open to the public Monday through Saturday. Historic Landmark – Kahanu Garden rewards visitors with an open, generous window into the world These hours of operation have, in part contributed to our 2015 increase in visitors. of Pacific island plants. An increasingly popular destination, in 2015 Kahanu Garden added Visitor Program staff to enrich the visitor experience with Hawaiian cultural demonstrations and education, The annual Kūlia I Ka Pono Summer Enrichment Program in Hana was our largest education while improving safety through tour-route maintenance and necessary monitoring of Kahanu program in 2015, and is supported by Kamehameha Schools.

introduced students to tropical plant species, many of them rare and endangered, creating a greater appreciation and sense of caring for Hawai‘i’s precious resources. Collaboration with Mahele Farm continues to diversify Polynesian crop cultivars of taro (Calocasia esculenta) and banana (Musa). We collaborate on long projects, and create a sense of community within the legendary land section of Honoma’ele, in which NTBG’s Maui lands are located. We collaborated on a well-attended taro and ‘awa symposium leading into the 2015 Taro Fest. Another event in September 2015 featured Kahanu Garden, Mahele Farm and the Sustainable and Organic Agriculture Program of the University of Hawai‘i sharing cultivation, composting, and cover crop techniques. Significant progress has been made towards Kahanu Garden’s largest infrastructure improvement project .The Kahanu Garden Self Sufficiency Project, includes the construction of a new Visitor/ Education Center and office building. The Visitor/Education Center and office building will be located near the entrance to Kahanu Garden. In addition to providing an information desk and interpretive exhibits for visitors, this flexible space will also provide a safe and dry area for our K-12 education programs. It will also provide a space for community meetings. At press time, over $468,000 of the $635,000 needed has been raised for the project. The planning and permit process is well underway and we expect to break ground before the end of 2016. Kahanu Garden staff and community collaborators conducted the largest out-planting in the Preserve to date. Over 350 native plants were carefully selected for targeted ecosystem restoration in the pandanus forest adjacent to Pi‘ilanihale Heiau. To do this, we removed more than 4,000 pounds of invasive plant material that previously prevented pandanus trees from thriving in this legendary forest.

32 33 The Kampong COCONUT GROVE, FLORIDA

With The Kampong, our garden in south Miami, Florida, NTBG is truly a National Tropical Botanical Garden. The Kampong is the former home of renowned plant explorer Dr. David Fairchild and the extraordinary legacy collection he assembled in just ten acres has long been a favorite destination for scientists, scholars, and plant enthusiasts.

34 35 With more than a dozen education programs, school collaborations, and public lectures, NTBG welcomed students, educators, and profes- sionals of every age and background to learn in the garden.

In 2015, The Kampong embarked on an ambitious Director Emeritus, Larry Schokman, in honor of restoration program for the estate, focusing on his lifelong commitment to plant collecting and repair work for the main house.
