Herbarium
This year we will be digitizing Eckerd Colleges' campus-wide herbarium. This will give students and faculty greater access to this beautiful collection that stretches back to the 1960s!
Students will have the opportunity to add their own specimens! Several events will be held throughout the year to teach students how to do plant pressings. Plants will be collected during some of our Saturday morning walks and will be pressed in the lab.
Click the “Discover More” button to view the already digitized specimens. This will most likely be up in the spring.
