Plants have been a source of food, culture, and medicine for the entirety of human history all around the world. Nantucket is no exception! Come and join us on the trails as we explore how our local flora has been a part of our history since the first settlers and why some practices so common hundreds of years ago are seldom used today.
We’ll explore sandplain grasslands and coastal heathland habitats, and enjoy views of Long Pond as we traverse a portion of the Linda Loring Nature Foundation's Eel Point Road property. We'll see what’s blooming, fruiting, flying, and crawling around the trails. Bring your nature questions- discussion is encouraged!
