Campfire Talk: Appalachian Abilities

Before grocery stores, pharmacies, and fast-food restaurants, families relied on the land and their skills for survival. They foraged, using plants to make dinner, build shelter, create medicine, and so much more.  And even with today’s modern technologies, these old skills of Appalachian Mountain culture are sought after and highly prized.   Join Kristen Irions, Assistant Director of School Programs with the Alabama Wildlife Federation’s Alabama Nature Center to learn more about old fashioned frontier/survival skills.
