Conservation in Action

Our institutions work hard in the field and at our facilities to conserve the plants of California. Each of the pictures below depicts part of our work: making new ex situ collections or exploring the biology and ecology of a wild population. To find out if a species you are interested in has been conserved in an ex situ collection, search our collections list or view select photos of California's diverse botanical heritage.
