Fall Foraging & Acorn Processing

Foraging is a growing interest in our society and more people are searching for ways to obtain food in a self reliant manner. It is essential to be sure we are foraging safely, ethically, and without causing damage to our landscape. Every season and landscape offers unique and nutritious plants to eat and prepare as medicine! Let’s go on a walk and learn about the most local, organic, and free food in our area! In this class, we will cover many plant species, and plant parts to eat or collect for medicine and utilitarian use. We will be hiking through varied terrain, on and off trail, up to 1 mile.

This is an adult class, but mature minors are welcome to join with an adult.

Schedule:

• Foraging Walk (we will learn to identify many plants)

This class will be taught by Tim Swanson, Founder and Lead Instructor of Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival
