Robin Greenfield is spending a full year foraging every bite of his food and medicine, skipping grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies and even a home garden, seeing nature as his garden. This practice is rooted in love and devotion for Earth, and along the way he is traveling to share knowledge about the edible and medicinal abundance that grows freely around us while helping strengthen local foraging communities. At Gabriel Richard Park, this foraging walk focuses on learning to identify more than ten common edible and medicinal plants found in the area, how to forage safely, how to harvest with care so plants can thrive, and simple strategies for successful outings. The experience welcomes all levels. The route typically covers less than a half mile and stays within about a ten minute walk of the starting point. Meet at the parking lot. The walk is planned for rain or shine. If extreme weather requires a change, notice will be sent by email on the day. A suggested donation of $10 to $40 supports the nonprofit Regeneration, Equity and Justice and its grassroots service to Earth, humanity, and plant and animal relatives. Scholarships are available to keep the event accessible regardless of financial means.
