Look Up! Medicinal Trees, Edible Nuts - A Wild Walk with Dan Farella
Join us as we do something different for a change, look up! At all the beautiful trees around us. After the leaves have fallen is a great time to observe the bark of trees and observe the different leaf patterns.
We will discuss medicinal and utilitarian applications of many barks, saps, twigs, leaves, and needles as well as how to harvest, prepare, and eat many delicious, healthful tree nuts. And im sure a few mushrooms will say hello along the way.
Hope to see you there!

See what the Barefoot Princess has to say about Dan.
I attended Dan's medicinal tree walk and it really was a 'return to nature'! We learned how to ethically harvest food, drink, and medicine from common trees like Pine, Oak, and Maple, and also discussed the making of cordage and fire. Throughout the walk Dan sometimes shared different aspects of indigenous culture in regard to the specific tree we were discussing, rounding out the educational experience. He also pointed out several useful "weeds" as we passed them by. We sniffed pine needles, tasted wild rosehips, and munched on hairy bittercress. The walk was informative, interactive, and inspiring, and everyone in the group helped make it interesting and enjoyable. The day after the walk I cut my thumb while chopping vegetables, and walked right out the door toward the nearest pine tree so I could put sap on it! It is healing quickly!! I will be participating in future events, for sure!
