Plant walks are excellent learning opportunities for those with beginning to intermediate foraging skills, and for anyone wishing to increase their knowledge of the local flora. Our discussion will include information about identification, methods of sustainable harvest, preparation, and use. We will explore the area and chose around 20-25 edible, medicinal, or otherwise useful plants and mushrooms to focus on.
These walks are intended for adults, but kids are welcome to accompany parents. Kids under 12 are free with paid adult. Walks are almost never cancelled due to weather (one time in 16 years), so dress accordingly. We will be mostly on trails, no need to dress for bushwhacking. You may want to bring a notebook, camera, and water. No other gear is required.
When you get to the meeting location, look for a smallish middle aged lady with long hair and a smallish black dog.
