This nature walk will focus on 10–12 common native New England shrubs such as highbush blueberry, silky dogwood, and smooth sumac, and maybe a few non-natives as well. Shrubs are defined as woody plants smaller than trees, typically with multiple stems. We will focus on plant identification as well as fun and fascinating natural history. Discover which shrub makes a delicious, vitamin C-rich drink and which the Chippewa once used as a remedy for “craziness.” Bring a hand lens if you have one.

Please note: Children ages 10+ are welcome to register if accompanied by a registered adult. Meeting location will be emailed upon registration.
