On Saturday, August 24th Allison Turner (PhD, Pharmacognosy) will be leading a plant walk on Hogback Mountain 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, according to both folklore and modern science. This will be an easy walk, as we will be stopping every few feet to look at a new plant.

Meet at the Tower Trail trailhead kiosk, behind and to the right of the Vermont Distillers building at 7755 Route 9, Marlboro, VT. There is plenty of parking across Route 9 in the large parking lot. Registration is required as space is limited. Sign up by email to hmca@hogbackvt.org. The event is co-sponsored by the Windham Regional Woodland Association and the Hogback Mountain Conservation Association. It is free and open to the public.
