Special Announcement: Support from the Leon Levy Foundation to aid Ukranian herbaria

ASPT gratefully acknowledges a generous donation from the Leon Levy Foundation, with facilitation by New York Botanical Garden, to support emergency aid to herbaria in Ukraine via the ASPT Herbarium Emergency Fund. This funding will provide support to address immediate urgent needs to protect specimens (from thermo-isolation mats to protect cabinets from fire and heat, to shielding materials from the elements in buildings with blown out windows, to temporary storage of specimens in safer locations) as well as funding to support recovery in the months to come. The Herbarium Emergency Fund is managed by ASPT’s Systematics Collections Committee.
