Spring Foraging in the Driftless, with Nicholas WazeeGale | Viola, WI
May 3 @ 9:00 am - 4:30 pm
In this in-depth exploration of wild edibles of the Driftless area we will learn a wide range of plants that offer us food during this season. Many roots and tubers from the previous season are available still, a plethora of greens and blossoms have burst out, and even some early stalk vegetables are showing. We will thoroughly learn the plants that offer these foods with emphasis on safety, respect, and reciprocity. This class will set you up to begin foraging in earnest, or add plants to your list if you know something about foraging but are still rather new to the game. Discussion, sampling, a wild food lunch, and exploring of various Driftless aspects and environments will fill out our day of learning and experiencing this enriching, connecting and grounding activity.
