New York Botanical Garden Herbarium Tour

Kyle Webster, Botanist, &

Lydia Paradiso, Torrey Botanical Society President

Friday, March 22 | 2:30 pm – 4 pm

The William & Lynda Steere Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden is the largest collection of its kind in the Americas. Home to nearly 8 million specimens, it encompasses all major plant and fungal groups from all over the world. While its global nature is a colonial vestige, it stands as an invaluable collection which documents global biodiversity and supports diverse floristic and systematic research.

Come see behind the scenes to understand how plants make it from collector to the collections, and learn some of the human stories and histories captured in the specimens.

Space is extremely limited, so sign up early! This tour is done in partnership with the Torrey Botanical Society. Stick around at  NYBG after the tour for the annual Torrey Botanical Society banquet, held in the library from 5-8 pm.

REGISTER HERE through the Torrey Botanical Society website. More details will be sent after registration.
