Greetings,
Building a Virtual Herbarium is underway. Each plant page or virtual herbarium sheet will contain photographic and informational content in various forms. The goal is to gather and compile content on native plants that you will find helpful and interesting and present it to you in a well organized manner. These v-herbarium sheets are meant to be dynamic with periodic content additions and updates. The links below will directly connect you to a particular v-herbarium sheet for that specific plant.
Winter is truly a wonderful time to observe and enjoy the beauty that abounds in Nature.

Bradley Woods bioObservation Survey
What a fabulous time we had on a lovely Saturday afternoon of September 7th, 2013 walking through parts of Bradley Woods and learning about this gem of a reservation. Many thanks and appreciation to our hosts from Cleveland Metroparks, Wendy Weirich, Bethany Majeski, and Valerie Fetzer for sharing their time, knowledge, and enthusiasm which makes learning fun! While not a complete list of all observed or heard during our walk, the bioObservation survey does illuminate the diversity that can be found in nature in the space and time of a couple of hours.
