Many people think that you can’t forage in the winter, but this is not true! Join Maria Wesserle of Four Season Foraging in this introductory class about common wild edibles of winter.

We will discuss identification, harvest, and preparation of edible species, as well as laws and ethics around foraging. Plant and mushroom varieties that we may find include hackberries, juniper berries, turkey tail mushrooms, garlic mustard greens, and more!
