Forest Herb Walk
Explore the forest trails adjacent to Innisfree Farm, discovering local wild plants and their uses for medicine, food and technological applications. We will start at the human-disturbed logging road edge, and continue along the trail to mature forest, observing how the plant communities change. We will learn some botany and plant identification along the way, discuss ethical and appropriate harvest practices, gain an appreciation for the relationships of plants within the larger ecosystem community, and how this relates to their medicinal actions in our bodies.
