Help keep our history alive
The Don McNair Herbarium collection is a critical resource to assist in our understanding of the human and environmental pressures being placed on the flora of the region.
It can be used for innovative research into the understanding of the environment, its cultural connections and how to ensure its sustainable use and management for future generations.
It also provides a valuable tool to train students in the skills needed to work in the environmental sector and provides a resource for the community to learn about the importance of the region’s flora.
The wider Hunter region supports over 100 locally endemic plant species that occur nowhere else and provides habitat for more than 110 threatened species.
The Herbarium relies on a dedicated group of volunteers to keep it running, but its success and sustainability is largely dependent on the generosity of our donors. When you donate, you will help to maintain, grow and further increase accessibility of the collection for the benefit of future generations.
