Foraging is a growing interest in our society and more people are searching for ways to obtain food in a self-reliant manner. It is essential to be sure we are foraging safely, ethically, and without causing damage to our landscape. Every season and landscape offers unique and nutritious plants to eat and prepare as medicine! Let’s go on a walk and learn about the various plant species, and plants to eat or collect for medicine and utilitarian use. We will be hiking through varied terrain, on and off trail, up to 1 mile. Be sure to bring appropriate footwear, a notebook and pen!
