SUMMARY:Late Spring Foraging\, Wildcrafting\, and Wild Medicine Making Intensive at Blue Spruce Park (Indiana\, PA)
DESCRIPTION:This spring\, summer\, and fall\, Dana from the Pennsylvania School of Herbalism is offering herbal foraging and medicine-making intensives at a variety of regional locations. Join us for our first herbal intensive\, which will focus on the plants and mushrooms in season in late Spring. \nPart of growing your herbalism practice is developing a relationship with your local ecosystem and the medicine that grows there. This includes learning about plant identification\, where herbs grow in our ecosystem\, and safe foraging practices. But it also involves learning about reciprocation practices: how to be a good steward of the land where you live\, how to monitor plant and mushroom populations and increase medicinal plants\, and how to give back more than you take.  In the first part of this class\, attendees will be introduced to a variety of ecosystems at Blue Spruce Park in Indiana\, PA\, including edge spaces\, lawn\, wetland\, woodland wetland\, and forest.  We will place an emphasis on plant and mushroom identification\, ethical foraging\, stewardship\, and reciprocal herbalism practices. We will cover identification of plants\, trees\, and fungi that are medicinal (and occasionally\, edible!) Our emphasis in this class is on harvesting invasive plants to support the health of the park (including Japanese Knotweed\, Japanese Barberry). We will learning of their medicinal virtues\, and make medicine from these amazing–if not opportunistic–species. \nIn the second part of this class\, we will learn to process and make medicine from the plants that we harvested\, which includes garbling\, cleaning\, and preparing. \nPreparation: Good footwear is essential for this class; please wear a closed-toe hiking shoe with good tread\, long pants\, and layers for a variety of weather conditions. Foraging often includes rough terrain and off-trail walking\, and we will be off-trail and on some sloped\, damp\, and rocky areas. Bring bug spray and tick repellent.  Participants will find it helpful to bring a notebook to document and take notes.  An open-weave basket\, gloves\, a knife\, and a pair of pruners are also recommended. \nGloves are strongly recommended since we will be harvesting and working with Japanese Barberry\, which has thorns. \nLocation: Blue Spruce Park in Indiana\, PA at Pavilion #4.  9am – 1pm. \nCost: Sliding scale $40-$80.  Sliding scale means that you pay what you can afford to pay\, so please pay what you can afford. \nHerbalism Certificate Credits: 3 stewardship and identification; 1 medicine making

SUMMARY:Invasive Plant Pull and Medicine Making with Japanese Barberry (Free\, no registration required) - Barberry pull 10-12; Medicine making 1:30 - 2:30
DESCRIPTION:Invasive Plant Pull and Medicine Making with Japanese Barberry – Two events!\n\n\nHosted by Friends of Whites Woods (https://www.friendsofwhiteswoods.org/)\, The Pennsylvania School of Herbalism (www.paherbschool.com)\, and the Pick a Dilly Herb Faire (https://dillweedinc.com/event/pick-a-dilly-herb-faire-3) \n\nJoin us for a day focusing on a potent medicinal invasive species in our ecosystem: Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergii). We have a two-part event\, and you are welcome to attend one or both sessions.  This is a free event and open to the public.\n\nMORNING: Japanese Barberry: Identification and Pull with Friends of White’s Woods – 10am – 12pm at White’s Woods (12th street entrance: ).Join us at White’s Woods to learn about Japanese Barberry’s impact on the ecosystem and on tick populations\, and take part in a Barberry removal project to help our local ecosystem.  As we do this\, herbalist Dana Driscoll will share about how to identify barberry and demonstrate the difference between our native American Barberry (Berberis canadensis) and Japanese Barberry.  We will spend time pulling and digging barberry out of the forest.\n\nAFTERNOON: Japanese Barberry Medicine Making: 1:30 – 2:30 pm at the Pick-a-Dilly Herb Faire (More details and location). Japanese Barberry is an incredibly useful medicinal plant species that is rich in berberine\, which is used both to fight bacterial and viral infections and to increase insulin sensitivity.  Berberine has been increasingly demonstrated by scientific studies to explore a range of medicinal uses\, and Japanese Barberry is an important replacement for over-harvested and at-risk berberine-containing species such as Oregon grape root (Berberis nervosa) or Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis).  We will learn how to process and make medicine from Japanese Barberry roots\, and everyone will be able to take some medicine home with them.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Wildcrafting and Herbal Foraging: Ethics\, Medicine Making\, and Plant and Mushroom Identification
DESCRIPTION:Join Dana O’Driscoll at Blue Spruce Park in Indiana County\, Meeting at Pavilion #4 \nSliding scale $10-50 \nPart of growing your herbalism practice is developing a relationship with your local ecosystem and the medicine that grows there. This includes learning about plant identification\, where herbs grow in our ecosystem\, and safe foraging practices. But it also involves learning about reciprocation practices: how to be a good steward of the land where you live\, how to monitor plant and mushroom populations and increase medicinal plants\, and how to give back more than you take. In this three hour class\, we will be meeting at Blue Spruce Park in Indiana\, PA at Pavilion #4. We will explore Blue Spruce and explore multiple different diverse biomes (edge spaces\, lawn\, wetland\, woodland wetland\, and forest) and learn about plant identification\,\nmushroom identification\, foraging\, reciprocal herbalism practices. We will cover identification of plants\, trees\, and fungi\, focusing on identification\, reciprocation\, and wild harvesting practices. \nLevel: Any\nCredits: Counts for 3 hours of Stewardship and Identification for our 50 Hour Holistic Herbalism certificate.
