Springtime Tree Medicines

For this walk, we will explore traditional spring tree medicines, including sassafras, slippery elm, sycamore, and others. By the end of the walk, we will gather together to sample a number of traditional teas made from Northeastern native tree species. This workshop will emphasize those tree species and medicines that are commonly-known and used among Northeastern Native Peoples and which, in many cases, were shared with settler neighbors in the past. As we are not Native, it is not our place to share culturally-sensitive medicines and their formulas.

Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes!
