Only 10 spots available
This walk will be about wildflowers and seeds in the fall and it will be at Antietam Battlefield Cornfield trail. (Look more in the info about other walks)
Foraging for Kids will be divided into 5 different segments. We will learn and explore different plants during five walks in 5 different places. You can choose 1 or all 5 walk times.
What will we be doing?
We will go for short walks and look for specific plants. Kids will learn how to identify them and how to use them. In these walks we WILL NOT forage but just learn to identify the plants. Each child will receive the info page about the plants we learn, they will need to draw the plants, learn the ways to use the plant and get some recipes. We will have some games to learn and remember plants better (some plant tasting may be involved).
What do children need to bring?
They need to bring something to write and draw with. Just regular pencil is ok. They can bring their magnifying glasses. It would be great if they would have their own clipboard. It will be easier for them to draw and write.
Remember to dress accordingly to weather. If the day of walk will be rainy, we will reschedule the walk.
What will we learn?
August 25 - Wild flowers and seeds in fall (Antietam Battlefield Cornfield trail - parking at Mansfield)
September 8 - Paw paw and pther trees (Trail at Burnside bridge)
September 22 - All kinds of nuts. (Washington Monument State Park)
October 6 - Wild roots (Battlefield Bible Church)
October 27 - Evergreen trees. (Hagerstown City Park)
Cost: $10 per one segment or $40 for all 5. This is a cost per child. Parents are welcome to join our walk with the child and if there are younger kids they can stay with parents (but with no distractions to those who are learning).
