Bark Medicine Walk

Winter and very early spring are a dormant time for most plants but that does not mean that there isn’t harvesting that can be done for our home apothecaries. The bark of trees and shrubs are some of the medicines that can be harvested during this season- and during this workshop, students will learn the basics of harvesting from the trees and how to prepare the bark for medicinal purposes. Alcohol and oil preparations will both be discussed.

On our walk, we will spend extra time learning about Bur Oak, Crampbark, and Red Osier but we will also encounter Elder, Eastern Red Cedar, Sumac, and Roses (not for their bark but other ways to work with them). We may even identify some of the baby medicinal and edible plants along the way!

You will receive the exact meeting location upon receipt of registration and payment.

This offering is completely outside.
