Adkins Arboretum

Adkins Arboretum will improve the management of its collections data and reach a broader public audience by expanding the depth of information available about its living collections. The arboretum will refine protocols for maintaining its new open source living collections database, add a process for resurveying the collections, and create a collections manual as a shareable resource and reference for staff. The database will include plant-animal interaction information, which will allow staff and volunteers to develop program content and serve as a greater resource to the public.
