Foraging Walk at Eagle's Crest

Come out and join us for a walk and search for edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms on the west side of Eagle Creek State Park.

Note: Click the map on this event page to make sure you navigate to the correct location with the entrance off of Fishback rd.

We'll be walking about about 2-3 miles. You may have to pay $7 to enter the park unless you have an annual pass (last time the gate was open and no one had to pay to enter). Feel free to post a comment in the group if you'd like to find folks to carpool with.

Everyone is welcome to attend no matter how much or little you know about foraging.

Note: Participants gather and consume plants and mushrooms at their own risk.

If you are new to foraging or just want to learn to identify more plant species, I recommend downloading a plant Identification app on your phone. You should never rely on an app as a sole means of identifying a plant or mushroom, but it’s a good way to learn more and get to know more plants and mushrooms. The "Picture This" app is good for plants and "Seek" is great for identifying insects and sometimes helpful for mushrooms.
