Dr. Jessica Dolan’s Café Botanica Ethnobotany Workshop will be a four-part series on wild edible and medicinal plants of the Eastern Woodlands landscapes of Southern Vermont. Join them at the Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center in Brattleboro on Saturday, January 18th at 2pm for the first of the series. 

January’s session will be about edible and medicinal plants that can be harvested in the winter, and those that “wake up” and bloom surprisingly early in the year. We will cover over 20 plants and trees whose fruit, bark, seeds, nuts, sap, and leaves can be harvested through the winter for nutritious and nourishing foods and medicines. Dr. Dolan will share the botany, plant identification characteristics, and sustainable harvesting practices. We will sample fir needle cookies and teas. 

Space is limited and advance registration is required. $40 for members, $45 for non-members. Please head to www.beec.org to register early and ensure your spot.
