As the heat of summer begins to wane and signs of fall emerge, a particularly bountiful time takes shape.
Medicinal flowers and greens either make a showing or regain their composure as rains pass through and the intensity of the sun starts to diminish. Soft sweets like autumn olive and elderberry accompany the first harvests of the hard fruits: black walnut, hickory nuts, acorns, hazelnuts, and more. Moving into late September, a beloved foraging staple of the Lower Susquehanna begins to ripen: the pawpaw will soon be filling the riverlands with its unmistakable scent. From the forests to the meadows to the edges between, the generosity of the land is immense at this exciting and short-lived time.
Whether you are interested in wild foods, local plants and ecology, or alternative uses for plants through wildcrafting and medicine-making, you're invited to join our Late Summer Forging Walk, taking place Sunday, September 13th from 10am to 12pm.
Along the way, we will spend time paying tribute to our long shared history with plants, looking beyond the question of "what can I eat?" on the landscape. We will also emphasize ethical foraging and ways of giving back to the land from which we’re taking–reinforcing how thinking like an ecosystem should guide the practice of gathering wild foods.
Beginners and experienced foragers are welcome.
