The Arrowhead Native Plant Explorers tour the Olga Lakela Herbarium at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Following the Herbarium tour at noon, they will meet at the Bagley classroom for a herbarium specimen-mounting workshop. Attendees can learn basic mounting practices for preservation in natural history collections. The focus of the workshop will be mounting specimens from the ongoing “Flora of Glensheen” project.
