The day began with a session by Professor Dato Haji Mohamed bin Abdul Majid, Emeritus Professor at Universiti Malaya, who introduced participants to the field of ethnobotany and shared invaluable insights into Brunei’s indigenous plant knowledge. In the afternoon, Ms. Nurul Hazlina Zaini of the UBD Botanical Research Centre (UBD BRC) guided participants through a hands-on session focused on mounting plant specimens for preservation, followed by UBD BRC’s Mr. Amiruddin Ruslan and his engaging class on plant propagation techniques.

We are pleased to see participants proudly displaying the fruits of their labour at the end of the sessions!
