On the Spring Creek Greenway’s Website is a book called Wild Stuff by Carmine Stahl, who they say was
co-author of Trees of Texas, [and] has led a colorful and varied life – in turn a wartime meteorologist in the U.S. Army, a Methodist minister, a leader of nature camps for underprivileged youth, a college professor, and a naturalist at Jesse Jones Park & Nature Center for many years – working along Spring Creek. His passion for wild plants and their lore stemmed from his childhood in Arkansas, spent exploring the woods and collecting roots, shoots, and tubers with his father, a country homeopathic doctor.
The book talks about some local edible plants and gives some recipes for them.
