plants

I'm making an herbarium as an EC.

It's a collection of dried, described and documented plants.

How many should I collected for this to be considered Tier 1 or Tier 2?

?

Hey there @UrMom!

This activity would probably be classified as a hobby on the pyramid. A Tier 1b - 2c Hobby has some 'tangible' accomplishment, but they vary quite a lot in level of commitment. I think it's about how much time you spend on the activity more than how many plants you've collected, but the best thing I can say is to keep up with it for as long as you can, keep collecting plants at a steady basis, and maybe start a club/forum to provide something else 'tangible' to go along with your hobby.
