Pressed Plants & Pinned Insects: Biological Collections of Mecklenburg County

Beyond the exhibit hall in Reedy Creek Nature Center lies an established herbarium, zoological collection, and laboratory that collectively form the Dr. James F. Matthews Center for Biodiversity Studies (CBS). Within the CBS, Natural Resources staff and volunteers work to document our biodiversity and preserve the natural history of Mecklenburg County and beyond. Learn about the history of the CBS and the current work that is happening within this unique facility. After the presentation, participants will have an opportunity to tour the CBS, as well as the native plant gardens located outside of the nature center.
