Scientists from Hawaii, Texas, Colorado, South Carolina, and Florida are shown in the Nixon Smiley Meeting Room discussing the society's future plans and goals. Cycad Specialist Group held their meeting at MBC's Nell's House in 1999 during the Fifth International Conference on Cycad Biology. MBC was a co-sponsor for the conference. The Cycad Specialist Group meets every three years. MBC Volunteers are an integral and vital part of the MBC Team.
Opportunities are as diverse as the volunteers themselves.
Currently, a number of positions are open in the Collections Development Department and the Horticulture and Facilities Department. Please contact Evelyn Young if you have any questions or would like an application to volunteer with us. Persons from many walks of life presently volunteer at MBC in areas associated with landscaping, palm horticulture, cycad horticulture, facilities, the nursery, the archive, administration, and plant records and documentation, which includes labeling, computerization, digital imaging, surveying, and plant inventory. A flexible schedule is an option. If your group would be interested in supporting MBC's purpose with a work day, please contact Lee Anderson , Property Manager.
