Tree Medicine Spring Intensive

Spring Equinox Weekend 2025
March 22nd + 23rd
9am-5pm
At Sawmill Herb Farm- Montague, MA

Join us the weekend of spring equinox for a 2-day intensive on the medicinal trees of the northeast!

The northeast is about 75% forested and contains numerous medicinal tree species, both native and non-native, making this a category of medicinals well worth getting to know. In this 2-day, weekend intensive, we'll highlight the medicinal uses of northeast tree species in season in the spring- which is an ideal time to harvest medicinal barks- and learn about a variety of medicinal trees.

Trees we’ll work with may include Willow (Salix spp), Sweet Birch (Betula lenta), Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides), Cottonwood (Populus deltoides), Wild Cherry (Prunus serotina), Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), Peach (Prunus persica) , Magnolia (Magnolia spp), Apple and Crabapple (Malus sylvestris), Alder (Alnus spp), White Pine (Pinus strobus), Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), Juniper (Juniperus spp), and more.
