Fun stuff:
• Edible Natives - from the backyard to your dining table. Paula Westmoreland is our guest speaker.
  
  Imagine your back yard as a forest garden stocked with multifunctional plants that provide habitat and food for birds, beneficial insects and other wildlife, while supplying you and your family with food, flowers, and medicine. Paula Westmoreland will join Wild Ones on Wednesday evening, November 17, to explore native edibles in the northern forest garden. In addition to their food value we will discuss the plants' ecological functions and other human uses in the back yard ecosystem. A short business meeting will commence promptly at 6:30; Paula's talk begins at 7:00.
  
  Paula Westmoreland completed a Masters degree at the University of Minnesota focused on ecology, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable agriculture. In 2001 she was certified as a permaculture designer from the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute. Paula's company, Ecological Gardens, applies this knowledge to the design of sustainable landscapes.
  
  The 7:00 presentation is $4, free to Wild Ones and Hartley members. Hartley Nature Center is located at 3001 Woodland Avenue, Duluth.
