Mountain Plant Walk at Kudish Preserve

STAMFORD — Join us on Saturday, June 8, 2024 10am - 12pm For a Mountain Weed Walk with Amy Metnick at the Michael Kudish Natural History Preserve at 2515 Tower Mountain Road, Stamford.

Here's how Amy describes the day: 

"I am delighted to explore, with visitors to the Kudish Preserve, the nutritional and therapeutic value of our wild botanical diversity. I love to forage for wild edible and therapeutic plants or simply marvel at their beauty and their intricate roles in their habitats. I am an educator-writer-artist who is wild about studying, cultivating, and nurturing our plentiful botanical allies in the Northeast. For many years I’ve led weed walks for small groups and private homes. On the day of our walk, visitors will receive a guide listing some of the plants that we hope to encounter; also included are resources for further discovery.  

“My weed walk emphasizes identification and application of these indispensable gifts from nature. We’ll observe how many plant families, like mints, parsleys, roses, and mustards, share physical features. Becoming familiar with these patterns helps you identify and categorize them. I look forward to learning from you, too!” she said.
