Especially in these times of State budget cuts, money raised through these workshops gives the Friends of the Herbarium the ability to help fund the staff and facilities of the Chico State Herbarium, in order to continue the public service and curatorial care of the valuable collection of scientific and reference botanical specimens that is core of the herbarium.       -----------------------------------------------------------------  -----------------------------------------------------------------     last updated 7/20/2008 by Lawrence Janeway, Workshop Coordinator email Mr. Janeway (530) 898-5381     Herbarium Home | Biology Department | University
