You will be taught by Mike Sanchez, author of Natural History Collector: Hunt Discover Learn- Expert tips on how to care for and display your collections and turn your room into a cabinet of curiosities.  Everyone in camp will receive a signed copy of the book to continue their collecting adventures.  Build a plant press and collect specimens, assemble a collectors notebook, and create displays of various sorts with items collected in the museums Learning Garden and shared from our teaching collection.  This class will also get a behind-the-scenes tour of the museums research collections of rocks, minerals, fossils and bioscience items.
