An Identification Booklet & Plant Survey of Batts Pond
Abstract
COVID-19 has been a huge struggle this past year,
however during this time of recommended self
isolation, families and communities have found
refuge in going to parks and exploring nature as a
form of escape. The Lillian Anderson Arboretum
has been incredibly full during this quarantine.
With an increase of visitors, people were going off
the trails or picking plants to take home. This
project was conducted to help those who are new
to the Arboretum identify new plants and help
inform people on which plants shouldn’t be
touched around Batts pond. The goal of the project
is to provide a hand drawn identification booklet
of plants near Batts pond for visitors and students
to use.
