Subsequent to the start of the Northern Ontario Plant Database Project, other institutions have expressed
an interest in contributing northern Ontario data from their herbaria, including Laurentian University,
Nipissing University, and the University of Toronto. To accomplish this, funds will be sought to employ
students for data entry and collections to fill information gaps.
It is also the intent of the partners to expand the Northern Ontario database to include bryophyte, lichen,
and fungal collections. However, the mandate of our current grant only funds the gathering of data from
vascular plant collections.
