Ecology for Foragers will teach you to read the landscape around you. You’ll learn how soil, sunlight, moisture, trees, seasonal cycles, and successional cycles work together to reveal where edible plants and mushrooms thrive. We will spend time in a variety of different habitats learning to interpret the envitonment. And along the way we will discuss several important foraging topics, including plant and mushroom identification, safety, ethical harvesting, and sustainable foraging techniques.
This course is ideal for both beginners and experienced foragers who want to practice and sharpen their skills. While you are here, you will get the chance to taste several different wild foods in our meals. You will even harvest some of the ingredients yourself. (And if we are lucky we may even find a few morels!)
May 15-17
We will meet on Friday evening (6-9pm), all day Saturday (9am-9pm), and Sunday morning (9am-noon).
Location: Lake front camping on a private lake in Michigan’s beautiful Irish Hills. 900 Twin Lake, Tipton, MI, 49287
Price includes classes all 3 days, all materials, 5 gourmet quality meals (friday dinner, 3 meals saturday, and sunday breakfast), camping location (BYO tent/hammock/camper), and access to the lake (including kayaks and fishing poles- private, so no license required) for the weekend.
Ages 13 and up. Please note that this class will spend quite a bit of time outdoors, off trail, and we may walk up to a mile. If you are not able to easily walk for several minutes, or unable to walk off trail, you should not register for this camp.
Can’t afford it? We are able to offer 1 work study scholarship spot in this class to someone ages 13-25, over 65, or on a fixed income. Contact us for details
