Hosted by the Georgia Mountain Master Gardeners, we hope you will join us for "The Forest’s Gifts of Food, Medicine and Craft As Practiced By the Native Americans."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, shelter 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.”
All of Mark's books will be available for sale and signing following the talk and slide presentation.
