KUDZU
PROJECT, AN ANN ARBOR CHAPTER 'GREEN TABLES' PROJECT
(Link
to LDEI Green Tables Handbook)
- Work is underway to recruit
more new LDEAA members with interests in the
Kudzu Project, from both near and far: in
Kudzu country (where it is a prevalent overgrown
pest) or in emergent Kudzu country (where it
might be handled as it emerges so it does not
become an overgrown CO2 producing pest).
- Recent attendance at a zoom
meeting with Chicago Foodways that presented a
meeting with a food forager, restaurateur,
Michelin star chef, who lives part of the
year in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where
she has a food-foraging B&B, and part of the
year in Chicago.
- Recent brief (less than 200
word) summary of the Table Talk event hosted by
LDEI submitted to The Quarterly of LDEI.

dealing with kudzu will evolve to correspond with
the natural seasonal development of kudzu in East
Central Mississippi, where the aquifer is clean
(no PFAs).
- Continue to develop an
association with nationwide partners who might be
interested in creating their own special projects
on related topics. A fine example involves
our Affiliate, Bill Arlinghaus, and under his
local leadership, the kudzu team at the Brickhaus
Brewtique in Meridian, MS.
We welcome participation from anyone who
is interested. |
