At McKinley Foundation Geneva Room
We had a program on
Illinois' Wild Edible Plants.
It dealt with "wild" ways to eat locally and sustainably! On Tuesday, October
13 (7pm) Bill Handel of the Illinois Natural History Survey gave a
program on local, wild plants that are edible. Participants learned
about what plants are safe to eat, when they should be harvested, where they
can be found, and historic uses. Snacks made of some of these plants
accompanied the presentation, and recipes and plant identification handouts
were provided.
