Workshops 2011 Year in review

The public programs, supported by The Friends of the Jepson Herbarium, are designed to provide members of the systematics, ecological, and conservation communities access to specialists in their field of study. The classes are designed to accommodate botanical enthusiasts from beginners to specialists.
Participants in our classes gain a unique perspective on the flora of California
as they learn from the experts and interact with fellow botanists.
 
Special Features of our classes:
   • Limited class size
 • Great diversity of subject matter
 • Instruction from recognized authorities
 • Hassle-free participation — all details handled by Friends staff
 
Basic Botany classes:
  Designed for participants with little or no botanical background.
Weekend Workshop classes:
  Designed for botanists, ecologists, conservationists, educators, interested amateurs, biological consultants, and federal and state agency employees. The content of the workshops is technical and the level of instruction will assume that participants have a general understanding of the subject matter.
