Featuring news and updates about the CBS Conservatory on St. Paul campus.
The College’s field stations are vital to our research, education and outreach mission. Faculty and staff at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve and Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories do incredible work. Two recent productions capture a bit of the magic of these unique places.
With over 1,800 species of plants in the collection, one of the more common questions we are asked is “Where do you get all of your plants?” It’s a great question when presented with the scope of diversity in the Conservatory. My short answer is that we get plants from “everywhere.”
My experience at the CBS Conservatory has been nothing short of extraordinary.
The grand opening of the new College of Biological Sciences Conservatory & Botanical Collection is getting closer and we can’t wait to share this amazing new space with you. I hope you will join us on March 21 for tours, plant-based activities, research talks and more. You’ll find details here.
