Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest
Clermont, KY

Mission & Vistior Center
Our overall mission is to connect people with nature. The Visitor Center helps set the stage for storytelling about sustainability, and great stories are the bedrock of meaningful education. The project helps illuminate the spiritual, biological and economic advantages of living in agreement with nature. We wanted to translate that mission into the design of our Visitor Center and truly blur the distinction between the indoors and the outdoors,” said Claude Stephens, Bernheim’s Education Director. “We want visitors to study our sustainable techniques and see how they can use them in their own homes. From using bio-diesel in our mowers to building ‘green,’ we are exploring a number of environmentally friendly projects at Bernheim.”
