Foraged Woodland Tea Party

Step into the woods as a forager, not just a hiker. In this hands-on program guests will explore the forest floor and trail edges and learn to spot and safely identify wild plants that have been brewed into teas for generations — things like pine needles, wild mint, clover, etc., depending on the season and location. We'll then head back into the education center for some taste-testing.

What to expect:

• A guided walk to search for edible, tea-worthy plants
• Simple, memorable rules for foraging safely (only pick what you can positively identify; leave enough for the forest and other foragers)
• A tasting session — sipping the tea you helped find, with time to talk about flavor, smell, and which plants tasted best
• Take-home tips and recipes for continuing to forage safely and brew your own teas.
