Rocky Mountain Herbarium

The Rocky Mountain Herbarium is a specialized collection of preserved plant specimens, primarily from the Rocky Mountain region. It serves as a scientific resource for research, education, and conservation, housing thousands of pressed plants and related samples. Researchers and students use it to study plant diversity, distribution, and ecology. By documenting plant species over time, the herbarium helps track environmental changes and supports efforts to protect native ecosystems. It functions as a vital repository of botanical knowledge, supporting ongoing scientific discovery and environmental stewardship in the mountainous regions of North America.
