Old Growth Forest workshop, March 21

[Matthew Herron]

John Michael Kelly and I will be offering a workshop on old growth forests in Ville Platte, LA on March 21. If you are interested, you can find more informaiton on our website: https://www.coastalplainsoutdoors.org/programs/

From the website:

Learn to read the land for signs of the forest’s history, estimate age of trees and stands, and determine the ecological health of a mixed hardwood forest. The course is useful for everyone: whether your a nature enthusiast looking to learn more about trees and forests or land owner/manager looking to better steward your woods. This class does not go into tree identification as a skill set but rather focuses on recognizing pattern recognition in forest development. SPECIAL NOTES: the class includes up to 1 miles of hiking, a portion of which is on steep terrain and off-trail. Participants should be in good health and prepared for an adventure.

Registration includes instruction, materials and hand outs; lunch provided at additional cost. If the cost of program is a limitation, please contact us work trade and other opportunities.

Optional Ethnobotany Evening Program:  Stick around for refeshments and a special tour of the cultural connections with plant materials. Topics include plants for fiber, baskets, dyes/inks, medicine, and more. Includes a small handmade craft to take home
