JEFFERSON CITY, MO– Current River State Park invites the public to learn about special uses of Missouri’s native plants from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 13, or Saturday, Aug. 14. The same class is offered each day.
Participants will learn how native plants can be used on insect bites, how to make rose water and more. Bring a lunch, water bottle and hiking shoes to join in the fun. Participants will take a short walk to collect a few plant parts and learn what other plants look like so they can be identified later.
Space is limited, and registration is required. Contact Connie at 573-751-1224 or connie.weber@dnr.mo.gov to register.
The public is strongly encouraged to follow social-distancing guidelines and be proactive in protecting themselves and others.
