Carol Judy Plant Swap
An inspiration to countless youth, activists, and herbalists across Appalachia and beyond, we were heartbroken to lose Carol Judy this last year.  In her honor, we are holding a plant swap.  Please bring plants to share!  Carol loved all things that grow.  Help us keep her spirit alive - bring your favorite plants to trade!


Campfire Music Jam
every evening
Bring your instruments for a late night music jam. Campfire will be in a remote area so the music can play on!


Woodslore and Wildwoods Wisdom with Doug Elliott
Stories, Songs, and Lore Celebrating the Natural World
Whether he's singing about catfish, pontificating on possums, extolling the virtues of dandelions, telling wild snake tales, or wailing out a jivey harmonica tune, storyteller Doug Elliott will take you on an unforgettable, multifaceted cultural tour of North America's back country. He performs a lively concert of amazing tales, lively tunes, traditional lore, outrageous personal narratives, and fact stranger than fiction. He flavors it all with regional dialects, lively harmonica riffs, and more than a few belly laughs.


Kids Activities and Co-Parenting
In addition to the scheduled kid-friendly workshops, various activities for kids and parents will be available. There will also be a co-parenting schedule for parents to trade kid-watching shifts.
