Foraging/Wildcrafting and Wilderness Survival weekend intensive.

The exciting news is the upcoming Sept. 8-10 workshop collaboration with Emerald Mountain Sanctuary in Highland county, Va.  We will be holding a weekend intensive on Foraging, Wildcrafting and Wilderness Survival basics on in Highland county, Va.  Tent camping, men's and women's bathrooms and showers. All food ( except Friday dinner ) and materials are supplied.  www.stevepullinger.com/wilderness-survival-foraging-and-wildcrafting-weekend.html    This will be fun and educational, hope you can attend.

The Plantain plants are seeding out now, narrow and wide leaf. The leaves of both plants are renown for their bee sting relief properties as well as other skin irritations. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked and the seed heads are edible as well. They can be used in soups or dried/ground into flour. It is one of our more versatile plants and also not native.  The accompanying photo is of the narrow leaf Plantain seed heads.

The registration for the July 15 Advanced Friction fire workshop is now closed, I will schedule another for this fall.

As always, keep practicing your skills and try to learn a new plant each month and how to use them.
