SUMMARY:Connecting to History Through Wild Foods with Wild Hudson Valley co
 -founders Anna Plattner and Justin Wexler
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson Valley is known for its rich diversity of temperate 
 plant species. Many of these plants are edible and have fed the region’s
  human inhabitants for millennia. At this event\, Wild Hudson Valley co-fo
 unders Anna Plattner and Justin Wexler will describe the many ways in whic
 h they bridge the past with the present by introducing the region’s resi
 dents and visitors to these wild foods\, which are so much more than just 
 an edible or ecological part of the landscape. From classes on Northeaster
 n Native land stewardship\, to guided foraging walks and even a wild food 
 CSA\, the couple will discuss the many ways in which they open the region
 ’s eyes (and tastebuds!) to Hudson Valley nature and history.\n\nAnna Pl
 attner and Justin Wexler run Wild Hudson Valley\, a forest farm and educat
 ional organization based in the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley. They
  grow wild-simulated ginseng\, shiitake mushrooms\, and steward a wide var
 iety of wild plants and mushrooms. Anna and Justin regularly host workshop
 s and consultations focused on Hudson Valley history\, wild foods\, forest
  farming\, and land stewardship practices. Anna Plattner received her BS f
 rom Cornell University\, where she majored in Natural Resources. Over the 
 last two decades\, she has overseen multiple large-scale agroforestry oper
 ations. Justin Wexler holds a BA in History and Anthropology from Marlboro
  College and a Master of Arts in Teaching and Professional Certificate in 
 Environmental Policy from Bard College. An ethnoecologist\, Justin has spe
 nt his career either outdoors or deep in archival and ethnographic researc
 h to better understand the history\, culture\, and land management practic
 es of the Native Peoples of the Hudson and Delaware Valleys\nhttps://bit.l
