Tree Medicine of the Northeast
The northeast is about 75% forested and contains numerous medicinal tree species, both native and non-native, making this a category of medicinals well worth getting to know. In this class we'll cover sustainable harvesting methods and ecological considerations to keep in mind when wildcrafting, learn when different tree medicines are in season, and highlight the medical uses of a tree species from each season and cover its medicinal uses in depth. Part workshop and part plant walk, after this introduction, we'll spend some time walking the grounds and identifying some of the medicinal tree species growing there. Handouts and resources for further study will be provided as well!
