Earth Women Outdoor Adventure

Barb Barton will be our nature guide for the second Earth Women Outdoor Adventure. In this class on Sunday, we'll begin beading our Squash Blossom offering bag, identify and cast animal tracks, and find more edible wild foods and teas.

Class begins at 1:00 p.m. at the Lake Lansing Park North. Wear gear appropriate to the weather, sunblock and your smiles.

I saw a morel mushroom yesterday - it was in another forager's mushroom sack, destined for Christmas Day dining.

In June, Earth Women adventurers will learn how to make a gourd canteen. Call Barb at 734.576.8427 for more information, or email her at akikwe@gmail.com.
