7:30 PM: Stated Meeting, Hall Association Meeting & Program:

Bro. Daniel Zortman will take us on a journey of discovery of the hidden bounty of Pennsylvania’s wild plants, you’ll watch a slideshow of the natural exotic colors and alien-like majesty of the incredible world around us. Learn about the richness of the foraging hobby and the unexpected lessons and deep insight that comes from a forensic perspective of ecology. Our woods contain abundant edible bounties that few ever taste or enjoy.

Discover the diversity and strangeness of PA wildlife and the fascinating stories behind many of Pennsylavania’s native Flora. Learn about things like Chlorociborea Aeruginascens, which leaves behind blue wood grain that is used in a Venetian style of artisanal woodworking. Or the Osage Orange, which is the fruit of a tree that is regarded as having the most superior wood for bow making.
