Late Fall Plant Walk – Seeing Through the Eyes of a Forager

December 5, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Free

We will hold a free educational plant walk on a private property in NE Alabama from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. CST on December 5th, 2020!

This walk is on the fundamentals of foraging, with a focus on winter foraging skills.

We will cover:

  • Winter Tree Identification (using twigs, buds, and bark)
  • Popular winter edible plants and mushrooms
  • How to scout for future foraging seasons
  • Ethical & sustainable harvesting practices
  • Tips for accelerating for foraging skillset

Directions

We will first meet in the parking lot at the Five Points Quick Stop (Address: 1202 Adamsburg Rd E, Fort Payne, AL 35967) before driving together to the property. Someone will be there with a sign from 9:30-9:55 a.m. to let you know where the group is gathering and to guide you to the property.

Please text or call Jesse Akozbek, the hike leader, at 256-348-6595 if you have questions, get lost, or are running late.

We look forward to foraging with you!

We will be following Alabama’s “Safer at Home” restrictions to the best of our ability. If you are at high risk of Covid-19, we do not recommend this event. Please see our Private Foraging Classes instead, which can be specifically tailored to your health needs.
