As we hike through Forest Park, we will discuss best practices for collecting plant and insect specimen data. We will make biodiversity observations along the locally famous "[https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/oregon/wildwood-and-leif-erikson-trail Wildwood Trail]" and the "BPA road" in Forest Park, both popular trails likely to host many native and exotic species. We will focus on documenting plant-insect interactions using the biodiversity observation app iNaturalist. | As we hike through Forest Park, we will discuss best practices for collecting plant and insect specimen data.

After a morning of observing and documenting biodiversity, we will enjoy lunch outdoors overlooking the beautiful Willamette River. We will then travel to the [http://www.hoytarboretum.org/ Hoyt Arboretum] Herbarium, where we will demonstrate plant and insect specimen preparation, curation, and digitization—the creation of digital metadata and images of specimens—and how natural history collections and ecology can mutually benefit each other. There should be time to explore the Hoyt Arboretum as well. | After a morning of observing and documenting biodiversity, we will enjoy lunch outdoors overlooking the beautiful Willamette River.
