Are you intrigued by mushroom and plant foraging? Join Ari Rockland-Miller of The Mushroom Forager on a tour of spring’s wild tastes and tonics. In May, the woods burst with a profusion of tender new greens and mushrooms. This program will feature an indoor presentation providing tips on how to safely, ethically and fruitfully pursue Vermont’s spring wild plants and mushrooms. Then, join us on a guided foray as we explore the woods around Green Mountain Club as we learn about the culinary and medicinal treasures of springtime. The foray will cover topics including safety, strategy, ethics and sustainability. Stick around for a tasting after the hunt!

Participants should dress for hiking in the woods and bring water. The introductory presentation will be held indoors, and the outdoor guided foray will be held rain or shine unless the weather presents a safety hazard such as t-storms.
