Description
Using the United Plant Savers' At-Risk Assessment Tool, students in Dr. Castle's Spring 2016 Plant Taxonomy class scored plant species in order to determine their vulnerability to overharvest. We report about the successes and shortcomings relative to the project's educational goals: to increase our use of botanical terminology and increase our awareness of conservation efforts and challenges. This data includes a comparison of 15 plants ranked by students, including invasive species and wild-harvested edible plants.
