The Undergraduate Botany and Plant Pathology is a good way for students to become involved in their major Department early on in their time at OSU when many of their courses are not in Botany.
The club organizes field trips, fund raisers and social events. Past trips have included the McDonald Forest, Japanese Gardens in Portland, and the Oregon Garden at Silverton. Fundraising throughout the year, including bake, book and cup sales, goes towards a more adventurous Spring Break Trip (e.g. southern Oregon river valleys, Malheur Field Station, northern California Redwoods, and Death Valley, CA). The department provides partial support for most club trips.
Please contact the Club sponsor, Dr. Richard Halse, if you are interested in becoming involved.
