Explore The Use of Trees by Native Americans
Walk led by Phyllis Smith, Natural Resources Agent
Join Us! Saturday, November 5, 1-3 pm
Tanglewood Park, 4201 Manor House Circle, Clemmons
Several "Woodland" Native American groups inhabited the Yadkin River Valley prior to European Settlement with an abundance of natural resources at their disposal. Explore the ways that these groups used native trees and tree resources as we enjoy a leisurely walk through the Nature Trail of Tanglewood Park in Clemmons. Participants are welcome to explore the area on their own after the tree walk. Phyllis Smith worked for Forsyth Parks and Recreation for 15 years as the Nature Education Director for Tanglewood Park. She is currently the Natural Resources Agent for N.C. Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County Center.
