Friends of the Rocky Mountain Herbarium

The Friends of the Rocky Mountain Herbarium was formed in October, 2015, with a goal of fostering local volunteerism, formalizing region-wide interest and support for the RM, and communicating information about the Herbarium to members and the larger community. The Friends host occasional open houses at the Herbarium, speakers, and activities of interest to botanists, gardeners and plant enthusiasts.

Rocky Mountain Herbarium Volunteer Program

Rocky Mountain Herbarium Volunteers assist in all aspects of specimen processing, from mounting and labeling, to databasing, imaging and filing processed specimens into cabinets. With their help, we've been making progress at processing a backlog of over 300,000 dried plant specimens. If you have a passion for plants and enjoy the company of like-minded people, please consider joining our dedicated ranks. Contact the RM at 307-766-2236 or send an email to RMFriends@uwyo.edu for more information.
