Foraging for Food, Medicine, Connection with Local Plants

Learn to forage local plants safely and sustainably! While walking at Camp Paradise we’ll meet a variety of plants, learning their uses for food and/or medicine. Foraging is an ancient tradition that brings you into close, intimate connection with the foods you eat and every day plant medicine. We will discuss uses, resources, safety, identification, and methods of harvest and preparation. If you are interested in ways to take better care of your health naturally and sustainably, this is a walk you won’t want to miss! Bring a notebook, camera/phone, and a friend. A handout with some recipes is included.
