Traveling Exhibits
This exhibit, which consists of four habitat displays — alpine, sandplain grassland, woodland, peatlands — combines photographs and individual plant stories to reinforce the importance of plants in sustaining a habitat for humans, animals, birds, and insects. The exhibits can be borrowed free of charge for up to six months, or can be purchased for permanent display. Each set includes a large (24" x 20") habitat description and picture, and six small (16" x 20") plant stories with photographic images of rare or endangered plants that occur in the habitat.
