The Charles Maurer Herbarium Collection exemplifies the mission of CSU by benefiting the citizens of Colorado through teaching, research, and extension services, and is currently working on some great things! These include:

Expanding the undergraduate internship program to include more students, including 2 or 3 work-study student employees each semester.
Enabling the curator to conduct extensive fieldwork to improve the Charles Maurer Herbarium Collection by surveying areas of Colorado and the adjoining states that are underrepresented in botanical collections. Doing so would better document the diversity of the Colorado flora, and potentially lead to discovery of new plant species!
Enabling undergraduate and graduate-student participation in fieldwork for plant collections across Colorado.
Improving graduate-student education in botany at CSU.
Leading more field trips and plant-identification workshops for the Colorado Native Plant Society.
