Herbarium
Volunteers
Volunteers
will be taught how to collect, press and dry plant specimens in early
spring at the TBG. This new venture will be partnered by the ROM who will
be storing the specimens after freezing and mounting them. Teaching will
be free. Time commitment will average 3 hours a week in the growing season.
Herbarium specimens provide research material for many vital disciplines
such as forestry, agriculture, anthropology, ecology, forensic, horticulture,
veterinary science, poison control and pharmaceutical research.
