 of people about the marvelous lives of plants and their respective use
 s. Marc continues to work incrementally on a master’s degree in Appa
 lachian Studies concentrating in Sustainable Development with a minor 
 in Geography and Planning from Appalachian State University. Marc’s 
 major research is on the most useful plants of Appalachia. However it 
 is clear that a holistic appreciation of nature irrespective of utilit
 y will be necessary to create the new paradigm that are current global
  situation calls for. Marc first came to the Hostel in the Forest in M
 arch of 1998 and was immediately transformed through a first time swea
 t lodge experience with Tom Dennard the hostel founder. Like Mycol man
 y of the principles that make the Hostel in the Forest such a special

 �� Henry Thoureau\n\nMycol Stevens – has a masters in aquatic ecolog
 y and has worked as a restoration ecologist/botanist for the Florida F
 ish and Game across the state of FL since 2004. He has traveled much o
 f Central and South America and Africa, and has learned from some of t
 he best teachers including Frank Cook. Mycol has been teaching ethnobo
 tany and edible mushrooms on the side since 2005. He also lives off-th
 e-grid on an “ecocentric” permaculture homestead where he eats fro
 m the wild almost daily and propagates and cultivates his own organic 
 foods. Mycol’s philosophy is to ween off the “system” and to eat
  your food as medicine. Mycol has been inspired by the Hostel since th
 e mid 90’s and much of it’s philosophy is reflected in his way of 
 life. Knowing the living world around you, connects you to the living 
 world.\n\nFor more information visit https://www.zoobird.com/events/et
