Art and Science on the River: Buckthorn

Participants will gather around a fire to make buckthorn charcoal from buckthorn branches harvested from the banks of the Mississippi River. They can sip on hot beverages while learning about buckthorn and the river from ecologist Alex Roth.

Artist Kimberly Boustead will show participants how to draw with the buckthorn charcoal and then give some options for drawing projects. Participants will leave with their own buckthorn charcoal, their drawings, and new knowledge to share with others.

This workshop is a collaborative effort between the MWMO and Friends of the Mississippi River.

The event is free, but registration is required.
