Saturday was the 1st monthly class in my 2016 Foraging and Rewilding Course.
Here is a sampling of some of the plants we discussed and interacted with.
I’m also planning a one off class sometime in May. Stay tuned.
(Obviously don’t just go out and eat these, find some good resources and educate yourself).
Thanks for reading,
Nate

I am excited to announce that I have another photography show coming up.
The opening will be from 6-8 pm on Friday June 8th at The Shoppes on Main
in Mount Joy.
Come see my work, enjoy some refreshments, and check out the other great art and crafts in the store.
If you can’t make the opening, my work will be hanging until the 2nd week of July.
There are a lot of other events in the near future that I am pretty excited about too:
Saturday June 16th is the Hunt, Gather, Rewild Class that I am teaching with Wilson Alvarez.
Friday June 29th Musician Douglas Thomas is celebrating his debut EP release at the Millport Conservancy.
Mount Gomery will also be playing (and releasing an EP).
Chef Nicholas Furrow will be crafting all locally sourced artisnal finger foods, hot off the grill.
Ben Weiss will be sampling his homebrews, including a beer brewed with wild-harvested spring herbs.
Artist Marisa R. Smith will be displaying her sculpture and paintings,
and I will have an array on hand crafted primitive tools.
And finally
Saturday July 7th I will be teaching a small part of a class on perennial foods that Susquehanna Farm School is putting on at the Horn Farm Center.
Hope you kept that all straight, and hope to see you at these events.
