Join herbalist Kat Mackinnon for a hands-on class about the edible and medicinal trees of the Colorado Front Range.
What you’ll learn:
Botany and Plant ID
We’ll be learning about the leaves, fruits, and barks that help with identifying these massive medicinal species. You'll get technical botanical skills as well as more instinctual, sense-based patterns for recognizing trees and shrubs.
Edible and Medicinal Nature of Trees
Along with wild foods and medicinal indications, we'll discuss medicine making, dosage, and herbal safety. As we go, we'll taste various medicinal preparations so you can get the feeling and the flavors of these species.
Wild Crafting Ethics and Developing Relationship
We'll cover ecology and habitat, as well as harvesting guidelines, caretaking techniques, and methods to create greater intimacy and understanding of our landscape.
