Join Dan

for an insightful walk around the land to demystify the “wall of green”

surrounding us. He will teach you to identify many plants revered in the herbal

traditions for healing ailments, as well as how to forage for nutritious wild

food directly from the land. We will sample the wild plant wonders Nature

guides us to, and focus on methods to use and prepare them. Gain the skills and

confidence necessary to utilize the countless organic, fresh, local and free

plant resources Nature continually provides.
