None the least, The Friends is a way in which funds can be raised
to help manage and improve the herbarium, to make it a better resource
for us all. At all times we are trying to improve the herbarium.
Unfortunately, as is all too common, funds are extremely tight. General
use of the herbarium is free to all patrons of course, but numerous opportunities
for improvement exist. To realize these improvements funds are needed.
Some examples of current and planned projects are:
We believe that these, and other projects will help make herbarium even
more useful and convenient to patrons at CSU and around the world.
By joining The Friends you will help us achieve these goals.

For all of our regular guests and folks familiar with us, you may be
asking why we have established the Friends of the CSU Herbarium?
The Friends has been organized to increase public and professional
awareness of the herbarium and its resources. Many people, even on
campus, are not aware that perhaps the best representative collection of
the Colorado vascular flora is right at their doorstep! We would
also like to increase our role in education by organizing field trips to
floristcally interesting areas in Colorado and occasionally arranging for
guest speakers to talk about the interesting flora and vegetation of our
state.

Upcoming Field Trips
Well, this summer wasn't exactly the best for wildflower viewing...the dry conditions ended the season earlier than expected, so we had to cancel the last field trip scheduled for September 2nd. We will be doing this field trip in Golden Gate State Park next summer though, so don't despair! We did have a good time on our first field trip to the Pawnee National Grasslands in mid-May and to Pingree Park in mid-July!
