Growing up in Woodlawn and Hyde Park, he worried many a middle school teacher and camp counselor by eating things that he'd found on the lawn, and by teaching his friends about them. After 11 years of teaching in the northern town of Ashland, WI, during which time he led over a hundred foraging walks as well as workshops on a variety of other subjects, he's back in Chicago, and thrilled to explore the wild edibles of his hometown --- and to teach folks about them.Axel has his BA in outdoor and environmental education from Northland College, and has offered foraging instruction in collaboration with Northland College, the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute, the Northwoods Technical College, the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center, activist Robin Greenfield, Experimental Station, the University of Chicago, and more. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/hyde-park-foraging-walk/100002002916963555 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Hyde Park Neighborhood Club - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 25, max: 25, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chicago - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Hyde Park Neighborhood Club - **lat**: 41.7957176 - **long**: -87.5937527 - **full address**: Hyde Park Neighborhood Club, 5480 South Kenwood Avenue, Chicago, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Hyde Park Foraging Walk - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/e22efc5187ee0b554c88fba56fad6005c50149bf222ffe7114a1199882acee8d-rimg-w1200-h676-dc484848-gmir.jpg?v=1791404167 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Hyde Park Foraging Walk being held? - **A:** Hyde Park Foraging Walk takes place on Sun, 18 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Sun, 18 Oct, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Hyde Park Neighborhood Club, 5480 South Kenwood Avenue, Chicago, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Hyde Park Foraging Walk? - **A:** Hyde Park Foraging Walk is organized by Axel Peterman. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
