Allison Turner (PhD, Pharmacognosy) will be leading a plant walk at the Retreat Farm in Brattleboro. Together we will be identifying the lower-growing plants at the edges of forest and in nearby fields. We will see native and non-native plants, invasives and possibly rare specimens. Allison will explain the medicinal uses for several local plants, both according to folklore and modern science. This will be an easy walk, as we will stopping every few feet to look at a new plant. Contact Allison at betonica@sover.net to register. Participation is free and open to all, but limited to 20 people; so, please sign up in advance. No dogs, please!

The Windham Regional Woodlands Association (WRWA) is organizing this event. We are grateful to the Retreat Farm for co-hosting this walk on its site with many different environments - forest, field, wetland and cultivated land. Meet in the Retreat Farm parking lot by 9:45 a.m. for a 10:00 a.m. start. The official address, for use in GPS systems, is 45 Farmhouse Square, Brattleboro, but you may be more familiar with the site as being on Route 30 about a quarter mile north of the Brattleboro Retreat. Pull in the driveway and turn into the parking lot on the right. We'll plan to meet there. Questions? Contact WRWA at windhamwoodlands@gmail.com.
