Project Details
The Arnold Arboretum has a long history of plant collecting both in North America and in Eastern Asia. Since 1991, we have collaborated North American and Chinese colleagues as members of the North America-China Plant Exploration Consortium (NACPEC), but we also participate in other plant collecting efforts not associated with NACPEC. For their fieldwork experience, the student will organize and describe our archival collection containing papers for expeditions not associated with NACPEC.
