What we’re about
Hi! I am a nature enthusiast with five years of experience foraging. I've been living here in Chattanooga for several months and have gotten comfortable with the landscape. I go hiking on Sundays and invite you to join me!
I will be hosting bi-monthly walks and may also announce special guest events as we move forward. Walks will be around two hours long, but may be longer or shorter depending on the needs of the group. Attendees don't have to bring anything, but if you like, you can download the Seek app from iNaturalist or bring field guides.
Please keep in mind that I am not a professional botanist or mycologist. If you are an expert in those areas, you may know more than me! These walks are meant to be a place of learning for everyone, including myself. Beyond species identification, we can also discuss other nature-related topics as they come up. We have to abide by local laws so be aware that while we can identify edible species, we cannot remove them from their habitats.
For your own comfort, check the weather before meetings to decide if you want to join. January and February are usually the worst months for foraging, but I will still be available for those interested. Please read each event announcement for details. I will wait for 10 minutes after the starting time for any late arrivals.
