Summer Edible and Medicinal Plant Walk (Free and no registration required)

Blue Spruce Park, Indiana County – Pavilion #2 – 5:30 – 7:30pm
Each year, Dana offers free community walks—this year, her first walk is at Blue Spurce.
Join Dana for an interactive walk to learn about 15-20 edible and medicinal plants that are in-
season during the summer months. The plant walk will include the ethics, best practices, and
tools of wild food and medicine foraging. The walk will also cover plant identification practices,
botany, and plant and local ecology. We will place a special emphasis on harvesting invasive
plants, as well as reciprocating care for the local ecosystem. Plants covered in this walk include monarda, willow, hawthorn, wood nettle, elderberry, mayapple, jewelweed, spruce, plantain, and
many more! Please have appropriate footwear for light hiking and bring bug spray. The walk will
be cancelled in the event of an active thunderstorm.
