September 1st, 2021 - August 31st, 2023 | PROJECT
The University and Jepson Herbaria at the University of California, Berkeley will develop a series of virtual workshops that promote experiential learning and discovery in the fields of botany, ecology, and conservation biology. The workshops and accompanying recordings will address critical environmental issues. Geared toward lifelong learners, recordings of the lecture portions of the twelve workshops will be made available online and free of charge. The workshops and videos will provide high-quality, museum-based educational resources that demonstrate the value of museum collections and how those collections are used in research and education. By bringing environmental education to a broader audience, this program will educate participants about how each member of a community can contribute to local efforts to protect natural resources.
