Spring Foraging Workshop

Have you wanted to learn more about foraging and plant identification? On Saturday, May 7, from 10 a.m. to 12.p.m., Julie Mullis will teach a lecture-style program with a focus on spring and early summer plant identification as well as the ethics and safety of foraging. She will bring samples, show pictures of different stages of plant growth, and discuss preparation of foraged plants. Mullis has years of experience in outdoor and environmental education, including work with the National Parks Service. The program will conclude with a brief walk around the SALT Block to look for plants. Registration is required.
