Bridgewater College Herbarium (BDWR)

The herbarium at Bridgewater College (BDWR) is a small, primarily teaching collection started in the 1950’s. It currently houses about 5000 vascular plant specimens, of which 4000 have been digitized and searchable on https://sernecportal.org/portal/. The majority of specimens (70%) are from Virginia and about 60% originated from Rockingham and Augusta counties (central Shenandoah Valley). There is now a small, but quickly growing collection of about 400 dried macrofungal specimens.
