For hundreds of years, people have been collecting and pressing plants for scientific, cultural, and aesthetic reasons. Plant specimens stored and catalogued in an Herbarium can be kept for many decades, and offer unparalleled opportunities for ecological and taxonomic research. In this webinar, we’ll explore the importance of collecting plant specimens, their research applications, methods of plant pressing, and the important considerations that professionals should be aware of before collecting. We’ll also briefly look at the history of herbaria and plant collecting, and how it has evolved up to today.
