    Updated Apr 2015. In April 2015, BKL was transferred to The New York Botanical Garden, and it will remain there until the Science program is re-established at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, projected to be some time in the next ten years. Visitors are welcome to visit to consult BKL, but specimens will not be loaned while the collection is housed at The New York Botanical Garden. The database of regional specimens at BKL remains online at www.bbg.org.
