Heads up: Plan for traffic and road closures this Sunday for Bay to Breakers.
Check out this week’s featured specimen!
(Pictured below, really close up!)
Can you guess what it is? Here are some hints:
- It is one of the tallest plants in the world, growing up to 330 ft (100 m).
- Parts of this plant have been used to treat coughs, colds and rheumatism.
Leave us a comment with your answer! Then come see us in the Classroom on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2:30 pm for Science Story Adventures to see if you're right and to learn more about this plant. Science Story Adventures is our program for children ages 4 - 8 and their caregivers. In the program, we explore the natural world through stories, specimens, games and crafts.
