This will be a special program led by expert naturalist Thea Chesney where we not only look for morels and spring porcini, but also learn to understand the ecology and layers of new life forming beneath our feet that ultimately lead to the regrowth and resilience of the forest after forest fire.

This program will teach you foundational skills to be able to go out foraging in burn zones on your own while minimizing your impact on these delicate habitats. We will cover mushroom anatomy for identification, tree and plant identification, poisonous and edible mushrooms, and forest safety. 

8 dates: May 17, 18, 31 June 1, 7,8, 14, 15

Additional instructors include: Christopher O’Maelmacasa, Ryath Beauchane, and Carrie Staller
