I am pleased to announce that the GLOBAL Bryophyte TCN will be joined by our first Partner to Existing Network (PEN), which includes the Bishop Museum (BISH), National Tropical Botanical Garden (PTBG), and the University of Hawai’i (HAW)! Our new collaborators expect to begin digitization work in June and will add even more unique specimens to the Bryophyte and Lichen Portals, while increasing our Outreach & Education efforts with local workshops, field guides, and web resources.
