Foraging Walk

Sunday, August 23, 2026, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Join us on a foraging walk to see what along our trails is edible! This walk will focus on mushrooms but discuss plants as well. The trail will be moderately flat over uneven terrain and we will cover around 1 mile, please wear proper footwear and bring water. To learn about edible plant beforehand, check out our Plant Foraging lecture!
