Wild plants for food and medicine workshop offered
BABCOCK, Wis. – People interested in learning more about using wild plants for food, medicine or survival can attend a new workshop being offered by the Sandhill Outdoor Skills Center this fall.
Wild Plants: Food, Medicine, Survival will be held Saturday, Sept. 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Participants will join survivalist expert Jason Faunce on a hunt for common plants and their not-so-common uses. After a short classroom session, participants will spend much of the day in the field learning first hand about the everyday plants beneath our feet.
Participants should bring their own lunch and refreshments. They should dress appropriately for outdoor activity and be ready for walking and the weather.
Registration is limited to 15 people on a first-come, first-served basis and is confirmed by mailing in a $20 per person fee by August 28. Participants may stay over in the skill center dorm either prior to or following the event for a donation of $15 per person per night. Checks should be made out to DNR-Skills Center. Include the names of each participant, and the address and daytime phone number of one person in each party and send your registration fee to: DNR Sandhill Outdoor Skills Center, Box 156, Babcock, WI 54413.
More information on the Sandhill Outdoor Skills Center is available on the DNR Web site.
