Spring's abundance has arrived!
The herbaceous layer swells, flowers peek open on the trees and shrubs, and fungi emerge across the cavities and crevices of the moist, warming forest.
May is the forager’s delight, especially for the bounty of fresh greens that awaken us to the radiance of the season: things like chickweed, stinging nettle, dead nettle, cleavers, milkweed, and more. From the ground to the understory, these are just a sampling of the plentiful foods and medicines we can find this time of year.
Whether you are interested in wild foods, local plants and ecology, or alternative uses for plants through wildcrafting and medicine-making, you're invited to join our Mid-Spring Forging Walk, taking place Sunday, May 3rd from 10am to 12pm.
Along the way, we will spend time honoring the rich history our species shares with plants, looking beyond the question of "what can I eat?" We'll emphasize ethical foraging and ways of giving back to the land–reinforcing how thinking like an ecosystem should guide the practice of gathering wild foods.
Beginners and experienced foragers are welcome.
