About the Connecticut Botanical Society
Botanical Society Activities
- We run field trips, led by knowledgeable botanists, on weekends from spring to fall. The trips provide a great opportunity to learn about wild plants and about the state's diverse ecosystems. Field Trip Schedule.
- Meetings are held in spring and autumn, each with an illustrated lecture by a naturalist or other scientist. Next meeting.
- We publish a quarterly Newsletter with botanical articles and news.
- We maintain the Connecticut Botanical Society Herbarium, a "dried plant library" with over 36,000 sheets of plants. This collection records the changing distribution of Connecticut flora.
- Notable Trees, a joint project with Connecticut College Arboretum and the Connecticut Urban Forest Council, tracks the state's historic trees and its largest trees.
