[SEMCO] Wild Edibles & Medicinal Plants 2-day course offered by Mass Audubon

[Melissa Lowe Cestaro]

Wild Edible & Medicinal Plants Field School

Saturday, May 19-Sunday, May 20 

 

Offered by Mass Audubon's Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

Led by Sharon Ackland, Ethnobotanist and Dennis Murley, Wellfleet Bay
Naturalist

 

Discover the great diversity of edible plants on walks in a variety of
coastal communities. During the two days significant time will be spent
outdoors in the fields, forests, beach, and marshes of the Wellfleet Bay
Wildlife Sanctuary learning to identify and harvest both edible and
medicinal plants, led by ethnobotanist Sharon Ackland. Information will
also be shared about what has been learned in the modern laboratory
about the value and composition of these plants. Recipes will be
provided so you can learn to prepare these plants for food, cosmetics,
or even for aromatherapy. And each day will start with a "larger
picture" approach. Naturalist Dennis Murley will provide an orientation
to the natural communities studied that day, sharing information on how
these communities function as habitats and the wildlife they
support--important to understanding how the individual plants fit into
the ecology of the area.
