SUMMARY:Association to Preserve Cape Cod Webinar: Nibbling on Native Plants
  in Your Back Yard and Beyond with Russ Cohen
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\nThere’s an increasing interest among
  homeowners\, property managers and others to utilize more native species 
 in their landscaping\, thanks to books like Doug Tallamy’s Bringing Nat
 ure Home\, which extol the virtues of native plants over exotic ornamental
 s for attracting and sustaining beneficial insects. Yet\, for some people\
 , this alone may insufficient motivation to “go native”.\n\nThe fact t
 hat many of our native species are edible by people\, too\, provides an ad
 ditional incentive for people to plant them in their yards and landscapes 
 that might otherwise be insufficiently induced to do so for the ecological
  rationale alone. Juneberries (Amelanchier spp.)\, for example\, are equa
 lly edible by animals (songbirds\, e.g.) and people alike. The taste of t
 he ripe fruit is like a cross between cherries and almonds (they’re all 
 related species in the Rose family).\n\nJoin Russ Cohen\, expert forager 
 and author of Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten\, for a 60+ minute pre
 sentation featuring at least two dozen species of native edible wild plant
 s suitable for adding to your own landscape\, or nibbling on as you encoun
 ter them in other locales. Keys to the identification of each species will
  be provided\, along with edible portion(s)\, season(s) of availability an
 d preparation method(s)\, as well as guidelines for safe and environmental
 ly responsible foraging. Russ will also include a few details regarding so
 me native edible plants he has grown successfully from seed\, and the part
 nerships he has made with conservation groups and others to add edible nat
 ive plants to their landscapes. Finally\, for those of you who can join us
  in person\, Russ will bring several samples of foraged goodies made with 
 native species for folks to sip and nibble on.\n\n\n\n\n
