Head to our website to secure your spot: https://www.mainspringconserves.org/events/spring-foraging-walk-2/ Learn about the edible and medicinal properties of the plants and mushrooms that live alongside us! Join Outreach Director Skye for this gentle and educational walk along the Jackson County Greenway. As we ramble, we will meet and learn about the edible plants and mushrooms that we encounter along the way. We’ll discuss identification techniques, cooking methods, foraging ethics, and medicinal preparations, leaving time to admire the non-edible plants and mushrooms as well! This event is open to foragers, nature lovers, hikers, and chefs of all knowledge and skill levels. **Note that Skye does not hold a commercial foraging license, and any information shared during this workshop is considered hobby knowledge only. Always consult experts and verified sources before consuming any wild forgeables.** We’ll meet at the trailhead of the Jackson County Greenway just before 9:00am on Saturday, April 18th. See the map on our website for exact location. The walk will take about three hours. The Greenway is a flat, paved, ADA-accessible path, including handicap parking spots. We suggest bringing water, a snack, layers, sturdy hiking shoes, and any naturalist tools you may want such as a notebook or a hand lens. Please note that we will not be harvesting anything during this walk, and plant collection is not allowed on the Greenway. Bathrooms are available at the trailhead. This event is donation-based, with a suggested donation of $15. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, but please give what you can. Your support allows us to protect the special creatures, plants, landscapes, and heritage of WNC for all to enjoy!
