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.

- Link
to archived material in
persistent digital archive,
University of Michigan
- Associated
articles on the topic are
forthcoming
- Links to future
movie files 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.
