Foraging is about much more than edible plants — it’s a way of seeing the world with greater awareness and appreciation for the resources all around us. In this immersive outdoor workshop, you’ll learn to recognize the many forms of nourishment nature provides: food, medicine, fuel, and materials for craft and comfort. Participants will join a guided walk through local habitats to identify seasonal edible and useful plants, explore safe and ethical harvesting practices, and discuss how Indigenous and ancient cultures developed deep relationships with the land through careful observation and stewardship. Along the way, you’ll prepare a simple tea or snack from gathered ingredients, connecting the experience of learning to the sensory richness of nature itself. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity, respect for nature, and a willingness to look a little closer at the world around you. Highlights:

•Learn to identify common edible and useful wild plants.

•Discover materials for craft, fuel, and daily living hidden in plain sight.

•Explore the cultural and ecological importance of foraging traditions.

•Practice safe, sustainable harvesting and respectful field etiquette.

•Earn your Forager Level I micro-certification toward the Wilderness Survival Level I Certificate.
