This half-day program in wild edible plants will tour the short wheelchair-accessible loop at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve visitor center, and then move on to a walk on the Old Highway 131 trail to view and learn various wild edible plants of the area. Though open to everyone, the aim of this class is to be accessible for diverse abilities. If it becomes full, additional spots will be made available for folks who aren't able to traverse rough terrain as needed in our other wild edible classes. If this describes you and the class has become full, please join the waitlist and we will reach out.
