Fiddle
heads, chanterelles, lichens, marigolds… then and now. Enchanting flora
in Red Lake
observed by passers-by and pursued by field gurus today, are the same
species
and features experienced by LakeRed pioneers. Buildings
erode, signs fade, and roads grow over. However, relics in the natural
environment remain the same. If you’re preparing a wild crafted menu,
complete
with boundless spring greens, summer fungi and a bouquet of the first
flowers
to bloom, these will be the same species harvested and gathered by
those as
zealous before us. Just don’t ask where to find them, if these ‘honey
holes’
located off the beaten path haven’t been passed down through your
family tree,
you’ll have to discover these oasis’s by your own
search or, by happenstance.The Red Lake Regional Heritage Centre is a charitable organization, funded by the Municipality of Red Lake and the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation. Reg # 87315 2714 RR001
