Nature Walk led by Kara Richardson

The Fort Towson Historic Site will host a nature walk with Kara Richardson, a wildcrafter from Broken Bow. Richardson draws on her experiences as a southeast Oklahoma native to advocate for natural resources education and the perpetuation of wild herbs and medicinal plants. Her methods focus on proper plant identification, range, and historical uses.

The walk will begin at the Fort Towson Historic Site Visitor Center at 9 a.m. and proceed to the fort grounds. Guests should expect a 2-hour walk on uneven terrain and a slow, intentional pace with frequent stops for observation.

This program is FREE to the public, thanks to the generosity of donors and volunteers. For more information about the events or to register, call 580-236-0537 or email fttowson@history.ok.gov. The Fort Towson Historic Site is located at 896 N. 4375 Rd. in Fort Towson.
