Naturalist to Lead Talk on ‘Food Plants and Their Other Uses by Native People’ at Seminary Hill
Learn about edible plants, and other ways that the native people of the Pacific Northwest used the plants here, during a walk today at the Seminary Hill Natural Area in Centralia.
Joe Mano, leader of the ecology club at nearby Washington Elementary School, will lead the free walk-and-talk, starting at 10 a.m.
As with all events sponsored by the Friends of the Seminary Hill Natural Area, free cookies and coffee will be available.
Meet at the Barner Drive entrance to the natural area at the eastern end of Locust Street. Because recent events have been popular and highly attended, it is suggested that attendees arrive several minutes early, and consider parking on Locust Street above or below the entrance to the Natural Area
Other upcoming events at the natural area will be:
• “Art on the Hill” — 10 a.m. Saturday, July 7, with Wanda Barlow, Megan Berry and Sue Beck.
• “Geology Walk” — 10 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 4, with Jim and Patty Ward (note: this event will be held at the upper entrance to the natural area, off Seminary Hill Road).
