Dozens of local plant species express their delicious and nutritious gifts at this time of year. In the form of greens, taproots, rhizomes, tubers, shoots and flower buds, much of the new growth during spring is at its most tender. Join for this accessible walk spanning forest, wetland and open space habitats. Participants will learn the essentials of safe and responsible foraging practices, as well as plant identification strategies.This program will run rain or shine.
Rob Riman spent his youth roaming Lake Michigan’s upland ravines and paddling nearby headwaters of the Mississippi. Following studies in geology, and a decade leading remote expeditions across North America, from alpine heights to coastal backwaters, he went on to built traditional wooden boats with NYC youth, and pursued graduate work in architecture and sustainable design, leading to his co-founding of the local nonprofit Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET). Today, he delights in his roles as naturalist and place-sourced educator, embracing landful living practices, while working to decolonize his own learning. Homeschool dad to two semi-feral children and avid forager, Rob resides along the former shoreline of the Quinobequin’s impounded estuary, on traditional territory of the Massachusett and Pawtucket people.
