Earth Day Author Chat at MLPL: Sara Bir

Presented in conjunction with our partners from the Mt Lebanon Nature Conservancy.

What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to discover the hidden natural world in your everyday surroundings? Foraging isn't about finding things to eat. It's about using all of your senses to dial into seasons, weather, and wildlife--and anyone can do it. Join plant enthusiast and author Sara Bir as she shares what's growing in your neighborhood and how to safely harvest it. Come with your own questions and stories!

Sara Bir is the author of many books, including Fruit Harvesting: Discover Nature's Abundance as well as the IACP award-winning The Fruit Forager's Companion. She lives in Marietta, Ohio, where you can find her roaming the sidewalks and trails in search of notable plants.
