Pine trees are recognizable by their appearance, but these well-known conifers can add flavor to your next meal on a camping trip or at home.
People can learn more about how to transform parts of a pine tree into tasty food items at the Sept. 25 Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) virtual program “Outdoor Survival: Bushcraft Series – Pine Needle Program.” This online program will be from noon-1 p.m. and is being put on by the staff at the MDC’s Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center. People can register for this program at:

At the Sept. 25 program, MDC Conservation Educator Andy Rhodes will explain how parts of the pine tree can be used to make tea and also can be used as flour for cookies. Though this program is free, registration is required. People must register so a program link can be sent to them.
