Grand Strand Field Trip: CCU Herbarium Tour

Join us for a tour of CCU's newly revived Herbarium with the Herbarium Collections Manager, Taylor Long. The herbarium holds just over 7,000 vascular plant specimens, most of which were collected in the Southeastern United States. We will be learning about how specimens are preserved, documented, and about the research being conducted as well as why collections such as CCU's are so important to our understanding of local ecosystems.

What to expect: The herbarium room is small, so we're limiting attendance to 10 people. There will be lots of standing and listening as this is an educational tour and seating may not be available.

Location: Please meet in the foyer/interior entrance of Douglas Hall on CCU's campus. The address is 111 Chanticleer Dr. E, Conway, SC 29526 

Time: 1pm-2pm. 

Cost: Free!

Parking: You may park in lot HH across from Douglas Hall. Buzz in at the gate and say you are there for a tour of the Herbarium with Taylor Long and Dr. Barthet.
