Plants & People -- Free New Year's Nature Walk at Edgewood Park

Friends of Edgewood, Neighbor

Free, Docent-led Nature Walk
People & Plants: Stories


Carry out your resolutions to exercise and learn more about the natural world! Start the New Year hiking with Friends of Edgewood docent Harry Cornbleet, who will share stories that illuminate the relationship between people and plants.  Which local shrub is known as “Cowboy Cologne”? How did chemists discover the allergen in Poison Oak?  Do people really make ink from oak galls?


Adults, seniors and families with interested children are welcome. We'll teach parents and children to identify poison oak, common along the trails.
