NEW! BCW Hosting Monthly Event

The Botanical Club of Wisconsin will begin hosting a monthly event on the second Wednesday of each month in or around Madison. Join us on Wednesday October 14^th from 6:30 to 8:00pm at the Wisconsin State Herbarium on the UW-Madison campus as we review the 2015 field season, focusing on interesting botanical finds. Botanists from the Wisconsin DNR and UW will share their stories and collections, but others are encouraged to share as well. Found an endangered orchid? How about a new county record of a non-native weed? Got a plant you just can’t identify? Attendees are invited to bring in specimens or photos of plants they found this year that were rare, unusual or otherwise interesting. Along with sharing stories of our botanical adventures in 2015, we can explore the State Herbarium’s extensive collection.

Future meetings will include presentations on various botanical topics, guest speakers, field trips or just socializing with other botanists.
