Herbarium volunteers
The Robert Bebb Herbarium is Oklahoma's primary reference collection of plants. People who need to identify plants or who study the history or distribution of species in Oklahoma or the Great Plains make use of the Herbarium. This "library" of plants needs volunteers to help with all aspects of processing specimens. Hours are entirely flexible and visitor parking passes are available. In the spring we do plant forays with botanists, students and interested volunteers to collect specimens for the Herbarium. Please contact Wayne Elisens if you are interested.
