The Program:  "The Forest’s Gifts of Food, Medicine and Craft As Practiced By the Native Americans" – a lecture and photo presentation

Mark Warren, owner of the nationally renowned Medicine Bow Wilderness School in Dahlonega, GA, has been teaching about native plants, trees, and survival skills to adults and children for over half a century.

Mark believes today’s society can — and should — learn some valuable lessons and skills regarding the use of native plants for food, medicine, insect repellent, craft, and fire. In addition to a slide presentation, Mark will bring along some handmade crafts for viewing and discussion.

Quote from Mark, “Most folks today have reduced nature to a backdrop of scenery. The great deficit in this scenario is our lack of understanding that we still depend upon nature. Air to breathe, water to drink, energy to consume for our daily actions. These are commodities that are easy to take for granted, and, if they are, future generations will have no reason to respect and conserve the pieces of the puzzle we call ecology.”

Mark's nature books as well as his other award-winning titles will be available for sale and signing following the lecture. For more information on Mark Warren check out his website at https://medicinebow.net/

The North Carolina Native Plant Society is celebrating 75 years of promoting the enjoyment and conservation of North Carolina’s native plants and their habitats through education, protection, cultivation, and advocacy.
