Budding Botanists Herbarium Mounting Extravaganza — October 26
This is an herbarium mounting training opportunity for volunteers who are interested in gaining more knowledge and experience about the basics of plant morphology, how plants are classified and the process of mounting herbarium specimens. Volunteers will work alongside botanists to mount plants and participate in an informal group discussion and learning while mounting. This is the last training activity of the season that is part of an ongoing effort with the Plant Atlas of Arizona Project (PAPAZ), a partnership of many organizations to document the plant diversity of Arizona.
The herbarium specimen mounting extravaganza will be held from 10-5pm at Northern Arizona University in room 313 of the Biological Sciences Building 21. It would be fine if folks want to come for minimum of 2 hrs any time of day.
Requirements: Due to the level of training involved with learning these skills, we are looking for a core group of committed volunteers who have the time to devote to this longer-term, ongoing project. Click here to apply now.
