Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation

In 2001, the Division of Natural Heritage, within the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, signed a memorandum of agreement with the Flora Project providing such major support as involvement of its chief biologist and other staff as needed, office space, administrative support, and Web space.

Virginia Botanical Associates

In 2005, Virginia Botanical Associates signed a memorandum of agreement authorizing the Flora Project to use VBA maps and range information in conjunction with the Flora of Virginia. Also, in 2008, photographs, provided by the Flora Project, were added to the VBA’s Digital Atlas of the Virginia Flora, enhancing the pages of more than 1,300 species. This ongoing effort will use many photographs taken by volunteer botanists affiliated with the Flora Project.

Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

In February 2009 Richmond's Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden and the Flora of Virginia Project signed a memorandum of agreement formalizing support that the garden had already been providing for several years. The Flora Project uses the garden's Herbarium Virginicum, a joint effort with Virginia Commonwealth University, to store and study specimens used to verify plant measurements for the Flora of Virginia. Meeting space is also provided for the Flora Project board meetings.
