Foraging Hike

FORAGING HIKE
DATE: Sunday, Sept. 13, 2015 (Rain date Sunday Sept. 27, 2015)

LOCATION: South Mountain Dog Park, 10 Bear Lane, Maplewood, NJ (Off of Crest Dr.)

TIME: 9:30 a.m. to noon

COST: $10 per person.

Join local wild food enthusiast and forager, Dan Lipow, owner of DiningWild, for a three-mile, moderately paced hike, as we focus on seasonally available wild food. Dan will share his knowledge of edible plants and fungi as frequent stops are made to learn about and collect nature's bounty. Mushrooms, nuts, roots and greens will hopefully fill the bags and containers you bring with you. Proceeds from the hike will benefit SFNNJ's school and community garden fund. Snacks and plenty of water recommended. We will start at the dog park (just off Crest Drive) in South Orange. The walk will not be called off in the event of light rain or drizzle.

Limited to the first 25 people who register. Tickets must be bought in advance at Brown Paper Tickets, (link here). Deadline for ticket purchase is midnight Sept. 12.
