Ellen Dean Endowment for the Center for Plant Diversity / Herbarium

The Ellen Dean Herbarium Endowment is a named endowment honoring Ellen’s decades of service as Curator of the Center for Plant Diversity Herbarium and was recently established by volunteers, friends and family, alumni, and the extended herbaria community.

Interest income from this fund is used for key functions of the operation of the herbarium: support for student staff and purchase of curation supplies. Contributing to this fund is a wonderful way to support the Center for Plant Diversity Herbarium, as well as student training and botany services at UC Davis.
