The Friends of LLELA invites you to their Summer Lecture Series: Snack Like a Naturalist

Nature has a pantry—if you know what you’re looking for. In this lecture, we’ll share ideas for recipes, discuss the cultural history of local wild foods, explore how to forage ethically without leaving a trace, and (most importantly) how to identify native edible plants. Afterwards, you can join us on a short walk on the Blackjack Trail to observe local edible plants in their natural habitat, if weather allows. You’ll leave with plant ID know-how, a few recipe ideas, and the unshakable urge to yell “IT’S FORAGE O’CLOCK!” every time you see a patch of dewberries.  

This event is free but registration is required due to limited seating.  Please register here.  Admission to LLELA is $5/vehicle via credit or debit card only; no cash, American Express, or tap to pay accepted.
