Greetings!
I am excited to announce that I will be hosting the 2018 Summer Flora & Fungi Hike on Saturday, July 7th at McConnells Mill State Park in Western Pennsylvania… and, I’d love for you to join us!
Summer is the perfect season to explore Pennsylvania’s land in search of interesting and useful plants, trees, and mushrooms. McConnells Mill State Park — with its deeply-cut gorges, hemlock-lined ravines, whitewater currents, and historical landmarks — is a prime area for summer exploration.
While exploring the Slippery Rock Creek Gorge within the park, we’ll delve into a myriad of fascinating topics related to this season’s flora and fungi, including:
- Edible and medicinal plants
- Edible and medicinal mushrooms
- Summer wildflower identification
- Tree identification, along with edible and medicinal uses
- Medicine-making using wild plants and mushrooms
- Natural history and ecology of the area
… and more!
