| Road Scholar Instructors | | These instructors are participating on at least one date of this program. Please note that changes may occur. | Marilyn McCredie
| | Born in the Hooper's Creek section of Henderson County, North Carolina, into a family that has held land there since land grant days, Marilyn McCredie grew up steeped in Appalachian folkways and tradition. This, plus her own rich experience, is the basis for most of her storytelling. She is a debunker of myths and a dispeller of stereotypes regarding mountain people. Her depth of knowledge and her skillful presentation have led her to be called “a cultural ambassador.” | | | | Ila Hatter
| | "The Lady of the Forest," Ila Hatter has for many years taken guests on a fascinating journey through nearby trails in search of wild edibles, medicines, and other gifts found in the woods. With more than 20 years of experience teaching the cultural heritage of native plants, this interpretive naturalist, artist, crafter, gourmet cook and herbalist has been featured on television and in national and international magazines. Ila has released a professional video series, "Wild Edibles & Medicinals of Southern Appalachia," featuring authentic Appalachian music and folklore. Ila is a direct descendant of Pocahontas. | | | |
