About This Event
Take a trip out to the countryside for a foraging field day! Join Maria Wesserle and Four Season Foraging to learn about wild harvesting of plants and mushrooms in rural areas. We will discuss laws and ethics around foraging, as well as identification, harvest, and preparation of edible species. Plant and mushroom species that we may find include nettle seeds, elderberries, hen of the woods, puffball mushrooms, and more! Bring your basket, as we will be able to sustainably harvest wild edibles that we find!
This class will require a lot of walking since things are more spread out in rural areas. Suggested age 14 and up (those under 18 should be accompanied by an adult.)
This event is being held at RecuperAcres, which is about 40 minutes west of Minneapolis.
Accessibility: we will be hiking on and off trail and may do some bushwhacking, going up…
