Volunteer Opportunities

We welcome volunteers who are interested in collection curation and plant conservation.

Volunteers assist curatorial staff in processing incoming specimens, mounting specimens, typing labels, data entry, taking photographs, filing specimens, preparing class materials, plant identifications, plant inventories, etc.

Volunteer positions are developed on a case-by-case basis to create meaningful projects that capitalize on a person’s interests. Volunteers contribute greatly to the work of the herbarium, helping to prepare and preserve our plant collection. There are many opportunities for citizen scientists to become involved with our mission.

If you would like to support the herbarium through volunteerism, please contact Marcia Moore (mmoore@butler.edu or (317) 940-8302).
