Bark and Lichen Gathering

Click heading for more information.
Celebrate with me "the Season of Biting Trees” when sap is rising and the medicinal barks of many trees and shrubs are at their peak. Your group will learn how to identify leafless deciduous trees by the color, texture and flavor of their bark. They will also learn to practice sustainable harvesting and methods of preparing them for medicinal use. Many lichen also have medicinal properties. Several will be found and gathered during our winter's end expedition.

This is a late winter event and we will be making our way through the forest on SNOW SHOES and X-COUNTRY SKIS, so be certain to bring your mode of transportation. Dress warmly and bring a change of clothing, as we will spend half the day gathering and the other half preparing several preparations from the materials collected in the warm Studio. A hot lunch will be provided.
