Our Magnificent Trees: Identification, Uses, Folklore, and More
December 7 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Join us for a wonderful time learning about the magnificent trees of our region and their incredible uses and folklore. Beyond being beautiful and inspiring, trees are foundational to the life and ecology of our forests and the wellbeing of our planet. As leaf mass and bramble fall into dormancy, we are offered a clear and up-close look at tree growth patterns, bark colors and textures, and more!
Join longtime Firefly Gathering instructor Luke Cannon for a guided walk in the wilds. In this all-day workshop, beginner to intermediate tree enthusiasts will:
-Explore Tree Identification-even when they are bare (i.e., no leaves, which is tricky)
-Gain a naturalist’s perspective on Habitats and Forest Ecology
-Learn Edible, Medicinal and Utilitarian Uses of Various Trees
-Hear Interesting History, Folklore and More in this Magnificent Tree Walk
