Build Your Own Plant Press with Jodie Schoelkopf

  • One Nature 3 Old Glenham Road Beacon, NY, 12508 United States (map)

Pressing plants is one of the easiest ways to preserve all of the detailed features in your favorite blooms and foliage! Jodie will show you how to build a reusable plant press, mount a dried plant on paper, and detail an herbarium print. Each 10x7" press will be made with locally sourced hardwood, and there will be a wood burning tool available for small customizations. We will also have a conversation about responsible harvesting techniques, ensuring you know where, when, and how to harvest with awareness and reciprocity.

Jodie Schoelkopf, Plant Technician

Jodie is from the Hudson Valley, but her interest in plants was seeded on the Southern Oregon coast. Her curiosity led her to SUNY ESF, where her undergraduate research correlated the physical properties of Adirondack mosses with their traditional uses by Indigenous peoples. Prior to One Nature she worked on small organic produce farms, and she completed a certification course in Botanical Medicine in 2021.
