Want to know more about that sugary syrup that you dollop on your pancakes or stir into your coffee in the morning? Maple has some amazing gifts to give us and they're not the only tree in the forest with edible gifts during these cold months. Come join us for a discussion on these species and their significance throughout history. Stay afterwards and bundle up for an accompanied winter tree identification walk around Inniswoods that even those who struggle the most will be able to participate in.

David Williams has been a speaker for many Ohio conservation groups including: Wild Ones, Appalachia Ohio Alliance, Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed, Stratford Ecological Center, Columbus Garden School, and the Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio. He uses these groups to get people interested in the outdoors through the thing that connects us all: FOOD! He is a poet, podcast host, and uses his knowledge on edible plants to make his own wines.
