April - Invasive Plants: Medicine, Ecology & Ethics

April 1st | Invasive Plants: Medicine, Ecology & Ethics

What happens when a plant is both medicinally valuable and ecologically harmful?

Invasive plants present complicated questions for herbalists, foragers, and anyone who cares about the natural world. In this class, we'll explore the difference between native, non-native, naturalized, and invasive species, along with the ecological impacts of invasive plants in our local landscapes.

We'll also look at the different ways to work with several local invasive species and discuss what they have to offer, while also managing their populations.

Rather than treating these plants as simply good or bad, we'll explore how herbal knowledge and ecological responsibility can inform one another.

You'll leave with:

• A better understanding of invasive plants and their ecological impacts
• Knowledge of medicinal uses and ethical considerations surrounding invasive species
• A small botanical gift or learning tool to continue your exploration at home
