Spring Foraging Walk & Garlic Mustard Pull

May 2, 2026 · 10:00 am to 12:00pm

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.
