Each year, BBCC offers two botany courses. Botany 130, offered each Winter Quarter, gives a general introduction to plant science; and Botany 140, offered each Spring Quarter, is our field botany course. Students in Field Botany collect plants during fieldtrips then identify and preserve their specimens to begin a plant collection of their own.
Whether or not you are enrolled in Botany courses at BBCC, if you have an interest in the native plants of the Columbia Basin, you've come to the right place. On the "Botany 140 Fieldtrips", you'll find pictures of some of the Columbia Basin's botanical treasures. Our photo collection is currently in its infancy, but with each spring comes a new opportunity of collect more images.
