SUNY PLATTSBURGH
Student Chapter of the Botanical Society of America

Mission and Objective

The Student Chapter of the Botanical Society at Plattsburgh State was originally created to bring students with an interest in botany together. Once organized we realized that botany can be power. Not only can we share ideas and learn from each other, we have the opportunity to get the community involved with botany and science. Our main objective is to work with the community and children, through mentoring and community planting projects, to make people more appreciative and interested in botany. We feel that children are important and are most impacted by experiences with people willing to take on projects with them. We will be going to local schools and working with children K-12, in an attempt to create a community interest in botany as well as a community interest in our chapter.
