Foraging and Wild Tending Class (Co-ed Veteran)

This event is a part of the KCVS Veterans Recreation Program brought to you by Veterans Rising and made possible with grant funding from the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency.

Are you interested in learning more about foraging, plant identification, and the incredible foods and medicines on the landscape around you?

This class is for you! During Foraging & Wild Tending Classes, you’ll learn about the plants and mushrooms we encounter as we walk the forest trails together. Each class includes a “featured” plant or mushroom, which our guides will discuss in depth to help you truly begin to understand how to identify and develop a relationship to it on your own. This class is taught from the perspective of “wild tending,” which acknowledges our relationship to nature from a place of respect, ethical foraging, reciprocity and gratitude.

Location: Cascade Peace Park, 8900 Grand River Dr SE, Ada, MI

*Registration is required through the Veterans Rising Meetup Group as there are limited spaces available.
