This event was an idea conceived of over the winter to try something a little different. As of now the plan is to meet on the *third thursdays of the month from March through October* in a different park around the Metro Detroit area.

This is not a class, workshop, guided plant walk, or anything of that nature. It's an opportunity to put the permaculture principle Observe and Interact in practice. "What exactly does that mean?" you may be thinking. I'm glad you asked.

We will meet up at a designated starting point and I will share some of what I know about the location. We can look at a map and share some features to look for. You may have some things to share as well. From there it will be your choice on what you decide to do.

Groups may form and walk a trail through changes in the landscape, identifying plants and landscape features along the way. Maybe some will get a little off trail to look for edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms (if gathering is legal in the particular location). Another option yet is to bring a stool or find a log or stump to sit on and just observe. I can say from experience that spending 1 hour sitting and observing can teach you more about a place than a 10 mile hike.

We will pick a time to reconvene and share some of the things we observed and experienced. Learning to read the landscape takes time and practice. In sharing our experiences, we can learn all sorts of useful nuggets from each other! Whether you're brand new to this or have been doing it your whole life, the land always has a lesson for those with ears to hear and eyes to see. Hope to see you there!
