Event · part of 8(C)(6)(d). (d) Herbarium Visit

8(C)(6)(d)(1). Write ahead and arrange the visit

Optional May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 8: which option?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

A herbarium at a university, park or botanical garden, or, with your parent or guardian's permission, a herbarium website instead.

Note. The requirement says to write ahead and arrange it. That instruction is in the requirement itself, not advice added here. It also allows a herbarium website instead of a journey, with your parent or guardian's permission.
