Join us for the first event in the Forest Botanicals Region Living Monument’s Community Learning Series (made possible by Virginia Humanities and Virginia Cooperative Extension)!

Ramp festivals, ginseng digging, herbalism, and more! In this panel, folklorist Mary Hufford and sociologist Shannon Bell will discuss historical and contemporary traditions, lifeways, and livelihoods that connect many Central Appalachian communities- past and present- to the medicinal herbs and wild foods of the forest understory.

To register, email destinationcenter@nortonva.org or call 276-679-3103.
