During the volunteer sessions at the Hoover Herbarium, people can take part in any number of activities. One of our primary responsibilities is\u00a0mounting new specimens. This involves taking dried and pressed plants and glueing them to paper. When we mount plants, we do it in such a\u00a0way that those specimens will last for hundreds of years. Each specimen is a physical record of what plants occurred where and when. Without\u00a0this valuable information we wouldn\u2019t know when a species goes extinct, expands or contracts its range, or where species occur.\u00a0After mounting\u00a0the specimens are databased and geo-referenced. Then they are filed into the main collection. We have over 80,000 specimens at the Hoover\u00a0Herbarium.<\/p>\n

A herbarium plant sheet, a important archive of our local flora<\/p><\/div>\n

We are also working on a SLO Voucher Collection, which will contain one representative specimen for each species in the county.\u00a0Volunteers look through our specimens and pick the one that should be added to the Voucher Collection.<\/p>\n

Additionally, we are actively working\u00a0on our moss and lichen collections.\u00a0Volunteers can choose what aspects of the work they would like to participate in. Any and everyone is\u00a0welcome.<\/p>\n

The Hoover Herbarium is located on the 3rd floor of the Fisher Science Building (33) in rooms 352 and 359.\u00a0Parking permits are required Monday through Thursday, 7:00 am through 10:00 pm; and Friday, 7:00 am through 5:00 pm. You can either buy a\u00a0$6 day pass, a $4 3-hr pass, park in a metered space, or park off campus and walk in. I can pay for metered parking, but you\u2019ll want to arrange\u00a0that with me first.<\/p>\n
