SUMMARY:Exploring North Country Peatlands

SUMMARY:Wild Edibles of New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:In spite of centuries of ancestral practices to collect wild edibles\, the grocery store ends up being our most common “foray site.” \nThis workshop is designed to recall some of the knowledge of bygone days\, where sustenance and nutrition relied on familiarity\, skill\, and careful preparation. \nWe will cover common edible and medicinal plants that grow right in our backyards. Both in-class presentations and fieldwork will provide a taste of what is out there. \nBe prepared to sample new foods from weeds to tree bark to rock tripe. Registration is through the NHOLC web site above ($165/day).
