Come out and join us for a walk at Daubenspeck Community Nature Park while we pick up trash and talk about foraging food and medicine in early spring.

We'll be walking about 2 miles. Entrance to the park is free.

I'll have extra trash bags but feel free to bring your own.

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. Don't eat anything if you don't know what it is.

Dress for the weather - consider bringing, gloves, hat, boots, etc. Rain or shine (extreme weather will cancel). You may want to bring your own cutting implement, trowel, and containers.

Note: 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.
