Nuts About Trees

Nuts about Trees is a family-friendly event to learn more about the identification and uses of common tree nuts; shagbark hickory and black walnut. We will share how to make ink from black walnuts and also get to paint with the ink. Challenge yourself by cracking your own hickory nuts at the site. Get a feeling for how hard it is to crack this nut and explore how animals access this important food source. Reward yourself with a taste of a fresh hickory nut if you can get it out!
