OFF-SITE EVENT: Urban Foragin' with Cait DiCicco Maddock, TN & E-RYT

Cait will lead the group on a moderate hike in Settler’s Cabin Park where we will identify and forage medicinal herbs to bring back to Woolly Bear. Afterward, we will discuss the medicinal benefits of the herbs we foraged in further discussion and make traditional tinctures to take home. Everything is provided for the tincture making, but please bring a pair of scissors and a tote to gather your herb(s) of choice in!

"What is a tincture?" you may be asking. Essentially, they are natural medicines made by dissolving certain components in an alcohol solution. Commonly used flowers and herbs include echinacea (purple coneflower), chamomile, elderberry, calendula, raspberry leaf, and dandelion.

Tentative Schedule:

10-11:00am – Hike at Settler's Cabin Park

11am-12pm - Tincture Making at Woolly Bear
