A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
The UW Bothell Herbarium provides a critical authoritative record of plants occurring in the campus wetland and the greater North Creek Basin. As the vegetation changes through time in the wetland it will form a reliable record to help us and future researchers understand biological and habitat change in one of our regions’ preeminent floodplain restoration projects.
The herbarium is a valuable resource for classes such as BES 490 (Pacific Northwest Plants), BBIO 471 (Plant Ecology), BES 316 (Ecological Methods), and many others. Students use the herbarium as a resource to aid in identifying plants and gain valuable skills working in the herbarium by practicing careful scientific documentation.
The UW Bothell Herbarium is already playing an important role in fulfilling the mission of the Sarah Simonds Green Conservatory: to foster research and educate students and the general public about the natural world in our region.
