Botany Department

The University of Wyoming Department of Botany gives students opportunities to learn by doing, from laboratories and classrooms to field research across Wyoming. Our faculty teach and mentor students across the biological sciences, helping them develop the scientific, quantitative, and problem-solving skills they need for careers in science, health, education, conservation, natural resources, and many other fields.

Giving Day gifts directly support our students and enrich their educational experience. Your support helps students participate in research, attend scientific conferences, gain field and laboratory experience, and take advantage of opportunities that extend learning beyond the classroom. These experiences help students discover where their interests can take them and prepare them for graduate and professional programs, careers, and leadership in their communities.

Our students and faculty are tackling questions that matter to Wyoming and beyond, from plant and forest responses to environmental change to biodiversity, agriculture, genetics, and ecosystem health. Your Giving Day gift is an investment in students and their future. Every gift helps us create opportunities for them to explore, discover, and grow into the scientists, health professionals, educators, conservationists, and leaders of tomorrow.
