Foraging for Food, Wildcrafting, Food Forests and Getting Out in Nature!

An exploration in nature often gets us thinking about the ways to use the materials we find. This is a discussion based class for wildcrafting and using natural materials and veers off into learner led discussions around permaculture.

Class Experience

This ongoing class is part of our Self Sufficiency Series. 

We will discuss learner led topics each week that don't build from class to class.  Drop in and talk about what you find in nature, recipes for wildcrafting, crafts we can do with natural materials local to us. 

Let's talk about plants in our area and best practices for wildcrafting. Let's discover what we can do to preserve the environment that we explore. Let's talk about food forests, permaculture and any other ideas you might have around sustainable practices. 

It is highly recommended that any work you do identifying plants outside of class, you do with a grownup.
