Specialists. |

|
The directory below, listed in order by state,
identifies organizations that
have access to plant and/or arthropod specialists. They have been
contacted by the
Museum and have agreed to help local participating Biodiversity
Counts schools find
specialists to assist their classes as a model for scientific
inquiry, observation, and identification.
We will continue to expand this directory. If you have found other good
resources for local specialists, please post information about them
in the Web site Discussion area.
