Healthy Nature Walks

Something that I have thought for some time would be a good idea for vacation tour ideas would be some kind of natural medications nature walks. I went on a walk when I was in college as part of a Wilderness Survival course that I was taking and we spent some time identifying local plants that were edible and useful things to do with them. I think someone could probably find a lot of people that would be interested in taking nature walks of areas they are visiting and having someone help them in identifying the plants in the area for both edible and medicinal purposes.

A day hike would be all that would be needed, say a couple of hours to walk people around a trail and point out plants that are natural treatments for acne or good for stopping mosquito bites from itching, or can help lower a fever, etc. It is something that I am sure anyone looking to go backpacking in an area would love to find out about, and if it's just a slow stroll around a nice trail then it would be something that even locals or people traveling through on a tour bus would be interested in participating in.
