Foraging at Big Rock Creek

Explore the beautiful forest at Big Rock Creek and learn a lifelong skill of foraging for your own food!

Chick of the Woods is back to help you gain confidence foraging for edible mushrooms. Before we head out foraging, we will discuss foraging basics, safety, identifications, and answer any questions. Then we will wander into the woods looking for, discussing, and picking edible goodies that we find. After the hunt we will review what’s in your basket and discuss ways to cook your finds. Take home what you harvest! No experience necessary.
