Come join local herbalist and arborist
Alex Klein for a walk around the grounds to get to know our local trees in all
their summertime glory. Compared to our other Tree ID walks, we'll focus a
little more on leaf structure this time around. We will also assess how trees
are responding to their environmental conditions and how this affects the way
they appear and other irregularities in form. As always, we will talk about
natural history, ecology and cultural uses of our astounding local tree
species. Come with lots of questions and ideas about what you've been seeing in
the canopy over the summer.
Instructor: Alex Klein
Alex Klein is an herbalist in
Boston, where he runs a humble practice offering sliding-scale consultations to
help his neighbors feel better using plant medicine. He works with people on
all sorts of health concerns, though given the impetus of our modern world,
most often finds himself helping clients with mental health and sleep
struggles, chronic illnesses and pain, and menstrual and digestive issues. He
trained under 7Song at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine and
the Ithaca Free Clinic, and on occasion staffs herbal First Aid tents at
primitive skill gatherings. He has also climbed trees up and down the East
Coast as an arborist, getting to know well the goings on of the upper canopies,
as well as the understory of the forest through his botanical expeditions as a
wildcrafting herbalist. Alex sees himself as an intermediary between people and
plants, helping connect clients and students to nature in a way that can bring
enjoyment and ease to their lives.
