CANCELED- LOOK FOR FUTURE DATES THIS SPRING Foraging with Sam Thayer

RESCHEDULED TO FALL 2022 – DATE TBD

At the workshop, you’ll join Sam Thayer for a hands-on day of botany, foraging, and feasting. We’ll be exploring the varied landscape of Riveredge to learn about the edible plants of prairies, forests, lawns, wetlands, and everything in between. Of course, you’ll learn to identify these plants, but we’ll also discuss their ecology—so you know how to find them, and how to use them responsibly. Read more about Sam Thayer below.
