Edible And Multi-Use Plant Paddle

Have you ever wondered what people ate before grocery stores? Or how they made baskets from pine needles? Join a ranger to learn how the plants around us have been used historically, both for food and for survival crafts. You'll learn the basics of plant identification, plant safety, and plant uses on a paddle around Lake Rutledge.

This is NOT a foraging program. There will be no plant or fungi harvesting. No plants or fungi will be consumed during this program. This program is for edible plant identification and historical education purposes only.
