Creation for Future Generations.
Because of our changing climate, the ecological, geographical and evolutionary shifts that will continue to occur over time will result in either land resilience or depletion, our human footprint is encroaching on natural and untouched spaces. With all of this happening, some plant species may not make it, it is important that we have a record of as many species as we can!
The plants collected have been identified in the field, noting their habitat and general morphology. They are pressed, frozen, preserved on acid free herbarium sheets using PH neutral adhesive, stitched with cotton thread when needed, numbered, labeled, photographed and safely stored.

A preserved plant is a record that links it to a specific time and place offering precious information.
Genetic information can be obtained from the DNA of pollen and seeds
A preserved plant holds both scientific and historical information and becomes a gift for future generations.
