Fort Hunter Park (Barn Room 1)                                     FREE
Explore Pennsylvania’s role in nature-based wellness in the 1700’s. Learn how “granny witches” (Healers) utilized knowledge of native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and other natural materials in their healing remedies. This session will touch on knowledge collected from Indigenous nations and the early settlers of the Appalachian Mountain region. During this session you will be invited to tap into your “granny witch” as we explore the colonial healing ingredients still found in Fort Hunter Park. A Park Rx wellness program sponsored by Highmark Blue Shield. Advance registration is required; space is limited.
Presenter: Suzann Schiemer | Nature & Wellness Educator, Certified PA Master Naturalist, and Certified Forest Therapy Guide.
