Herbarium


I am creating a plant collection representing the plant diversity of the Santa Ana river watershed. I collect them, ID them, put them in a plant press and let them dry for a few weeks. Later I will mount them on nice sheets so that kids and adults on field trips can view the collection. I usually do my collecting on days when there is not much else planned. I got volunteered for this since I spent the past 16 years working in the horticulture industry :).
