HREC rich in plant-related research opportunities.

May 3, 2011

The Hopland Research & Extension Center has a large array of vascular plants that grow (or have grown) on the premises.  The HREC herbarium comprises one of the best local plant collections in the county with almost 700 plant species found on the Center represented within the collection.  Here you see a visiting researcher from UC Santa Cruz checking out Bolander's Woodland-Star (Lithophragma bolanderi) to add to the collection at UCSC.
