Forager's Nature Walk

A guided walk along Blue Grouse trail, learning to identify the various edible wild plants in this region. We will identify, but not gather.
About this Event

Walk with Master Naturalist Jacob, and open your eyes to the amazing repertoire of foods growing right here in the Colorado mountains. This will be a short, 2 hr easy hike, with lots of stops to look at various plants along the trail. Since actually taking plants from the park is not legal, we will be focusing on learning to spot and identify the vaious plants growing here.

We will be meeting at the Blue Grouse Trailhead (COTrex trail map link), and hiking down along the Blue Grouse trail for a ways, though we will not be going the full length of the trail. This trail includes some incline and is mostly shaded.

NOTES:

Bring: Please bring weather appropriate clothing (it will likely be hot, and may rain), a notebook if you like, and a curiosity for the natural world!

A park pass is required for this event. If you do not have a pass, you can purchase one at the Visitor Center before the program starts.

This event is for ages 12+.
