The guide for this talk & walk is Alison Maingon, member of the CVNS & retired archaeologist, who has hiked in Strathcona Park for over 25 years.
Her talk & walk “Plantlife in Paradise Meadows” will be an introduction to the flora of a sub-alpine ecosystem and some of their uses.
Indian Hellebore- called "skookum" root, very well respected by all indigenous people
"There will be a brief slide show to illustrate the blooms and fruits that should appear later in the summer, before we walk around to see what is actually emerging from the snow pack!” says Alison. “My passion for plants, cultivated and wild, has been lifelong, and I am especially interested in how cultures, ancient and modern, have made use of them.”
Tomorrow's volunteer at the Centre is Michelle, member of the Comox District Mountaineering Club & the Comox Valley Naturalists Society.
