November is Native American Heritage Month, so we hope you will join us for this special program. Mark Warren, owner of the nationally renowned Medicine Bow Wilderness School in Dahlonega, GA, has been teaching about native plants, trees, and survival skills to adults and children for over half a century.
Mark believes today’s society can — and should — learn some valuable lessons and skills regarding the use of native plants for food, medicine, insect repellent, craft, and fire. In addition to a slide presentation, Mark will bring along some handmade crafts for viewing and discussion.
Quote from Mark, “Most folks today have reduced nature to a backdrop of scenery. The great deficit in this scenario is our lack of understanding that we still depend upon nature. Air to breathe, water to drink, energy to consume for our daily actions. These are commodities that are easy to take for granted, and, if they are, future generations will have no reason to respect and conserve the pieces of the puzzle we call ecology.”
Mark Warren is the author of a set of nature books called "Secrets of the Forest" as well as many other award-winning titles. His books will be available for sale and signing following the lecture.
Participants must register by November 5 on the Dunwoody Nature Center website. https://dunwoodynature.org/mec-events/the-forests-gifts-an-afternoon-with-author-naturalist-mark-warren/
