Join us for a guided spring hike focused on seasonal foraging and hands-on conservation. Participants will learn to identify common edible spring plants while also helping protect native ecosystems by removing invasive garlic mustard along the trail. The walk is geared towards those 10+ and children must be accompanied by an adult. Dress for the weather and bring gloves for pulling garlic mustard.
This is a free event with limited space. Visit Friends of Big Rock Park at www.friendsofbigrockpark.org to register. Your registration helps us ensure there are enough materials for all participants.
