Community-engaged learning is a pedagogical approach that brings together students and community organizations to work toward a shared, cooperative goal.  This activity allows students to bring their subject-matter knowledge and skills to bear on a project that is of interest to and in collaboration with the community partner.  At Weber State University, the Taxonomy of Vascular Plants class has been taught, for the past two years, as a community-engaged learning course.  Students have actively engaged in different ways of working with community partners to focus 1) on developing accurate botanical resources on the local flora that would be used for producing interpretive hikes for the public, and 2) on creating and presenting activities for a Plant Party at the Treehouse Museum, the community's children's museum.  As part of the community-engaged component of the class, students spend time meeting with the community partner to understand the organization and its goals, which helps inform the students' approach to the project.  Additionally, students write reflections on their experiences with community-engaged learning and discuss these in class.  While the results are only qualitative presently, students have enjoyed this type of class project as they are able to be out in the community and use their botanical knowledge in a novel manner.  This experience can help students understand the types of jobs they can pursue with their degree.  Students also gain a different perspective on a class project because a community partner relies on their work, rather than only an instructor seeing the final result.
