Frequently asked questions

Will we be harvesting wild edible plants at this walk?

No, this walk is for educational purposes, we will not be harvesting wild edibles. In addition to it not being legal to harvest at Dry Comal Trail, this is to maintain the integrity and beauty of the trail for those who will come after us.

How many plants will we learn about?

Foraging can be unpredictable and dependent on recent weather conditions, but we expect to encounter at least a dozen edible or medicinal plants on this walk.

Is this class suitable for beginner foragers?

Yes, absolutely! This class will place a special emphasis on teaching new foragers about the best practices and ethics of foraging, as well as using approachable language to teach about the individual plants.

What do you mean by "useful" plants?

In addition to learning about the various edible and medicinal plants that grow in this area, you will learn about plants that can be used for other purposes such as fiber, dye, fire starter, tools, and more.

What if it rains?

If it rains, the class will be cancelled and refunds will be issued. We will contact you in the event of cancellation.

Where will we meet to start the walk?

The walk will start at the south trailhead of Dry Comal Creek Trail. This is the trailhead to the right when you pull into the baseball fields.
