Description: Wet areas provide the most diverse habitats for plants used by Great Lakes tribes. Join ethnobotanist Lee Olsen and find out what can be learned from the Indian names. He will also demonstrate utility uses (dyes, cordage, fiber, and construction), reveal medicinal plants, and identify food plants. Bring good hiking shoes and dress for the weather. Space is limited and pre-registration is requested. For directions or to register click on the events tab, send an email to fieldstn@uwm.edu or call 262-675-6844.
