Mark Warren Presents "The Forest's Gifts of Food, Medicine and Craft"

Mark Warren, owner of the nationally renowned Medicine Bow Wilderness School in Dahlonega, GA, has been teaching about native plants, trees, and Native American 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, shelter and fire. Mark will bring along some handmade Native American style 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 "Secrets of the Forest," a four volume series on nature and primitive skills. These books as well as his other award-winning titles will be available for sale at this event.
