Join us for a virtual community science event to help "digitize" the plants of California! Explore thousands of images of plant specimens and help us catalog the data stored on these invaluable pieces of history. After a brief introduction and virtual tour of the Cal Poly Robert Hoover Herbarium, we will use the community science website NotesFromNature.org to view specimens and transcribe their label data into given fields. There will be games, prizes, and a virtual tour of the herbarium! No prior experience is required. Please plan to participate via a laptop or other device with a keyboard (smartphones not recommended).
