Preserving collections is our priority! 💪🌳In the woodland garden at the @amhistorymuseum we’ve planted a living green mulch — a mix of Carexes, flowering herbaceous plants, and edible shrubs — to support the health of our oaks and the life they sustain. This work is about more than planting — it’s about preserving collections. Every decision, from soil aeration to the new plantings, was made to protect our trees, which are the heart of this landscape and the focus of this project. 🎥: Nick L.,

The Smithsonian Natural History Museum houses 147 million specimens — everything from pickled animals to priceless gems to dinosaur bones. But less than 1% of it's on display. The rest is hidden behind the scenes in what's called collections. But they're not just sitting in storage rooms collecting dust. The specimens are actively used for scientific research with real-world benefits, from preventing bird strikes to documenting invasive species. We went inside the collections to see how they acq

It’s housed in a decorated metal locket-like case with a magnifying
