The federal government is erasing our history. Preparing slides for the Alabama Herb Society tonight. The paint sample in the photo was created by George Washington Carver. You could find it on the National Parks Service website. I've kept a copy, but I went back to the NPS site to link it for proper credit. There is info on the Carver National Monument in Missouri, but their collections from Tuskegee are gone.

The Southeastern Foraging Conference at Camp McDowell did not disappoint.
Scorpion and millipede seen under UV light. Cordage made from rattlesnake master plant.
Rabbit to***co gone to seed.
We learned traditional basketry, tincturing, trapping crawfish, tree ID, cooking with foraged fins and much much more. What a lovely group of people who came together to learn in the woods.
