Conservation Value of Botanic Collections

Project funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to evaluate the value of four priority collections at The Morton Arboretum. The value of these collections will be scored based on five criteria: environmental niche space, genetic diversity, phylogenetic representation, horticultural value, and endangerment status.
