OUR MISSION
The Friends of the Ahart Herbarium is an all-volunteer organization that promotes botanical education and outreach. Our mission is to provide support for the herbarium and demonstrate and publicize the value of the herbarium to the community.
The Friends of the Ahart Herbarium operates under auspices of the California State University Chico, and the University Foundation, and thereby enjoys non-profit status and has access to the use of University classrooms and equipment. At least half of workshop registration fees go to help support the Friends activities on behalf of the Herbarium.
