Winter Foraging & Maple Tapping Description
Join us for a special foraging and wild tending class, where we’ll explore a variety of wild winter foods and place a special emphasis on the upcoming Maple syrup season! Tapping a tree for sap can be a wonderful experience, and you don’t need a grove of sugar Maple trees to do it. During this class, our guides Katie & Luke will share some simple tips for how to identify Maple trees in winter, teach you how to tap a tree ethically and sustainably, and share different ways you can use the sap (there are more options than just syrup here, friends!). Come join us and expand your relationship with the trees this winter. All are welcome & no experience or special gear is necessary to join us.
Each class is followed up with an emailed report of the wild edibles we discovered at class so you can continue on your own!
All ages are welcome. No experience in the outdoors is necessary!
