From the Paper:

"The New York Arboretum was founded in the mid 1800s and situated across a 250-acre strip of land. The Arboretum was "founded by two French Huguenot brothers named Lorillard" (Soderstrom, 2001, p. 87), it displays botanical and educational research and has the largest botanical library in North America. In the upcoming years, the Arboretum delved into some key issues that needed to be changed in order to keep up its operations. The Arboretum needed to generate additional revenue, find greater initiatives to attract more visitors and employees and change its scope and mission."
