Exploring the Edible Wilderness
Thursday, April 18, 4:30-6 pm
SOLD OUT!
Foraging is a culinary adventure that connects us with nature, offering unique, edible treasures. Join KNC staff to learn some foraging basics all while searching for some tasty treats along KNC’s trails. Foraging on local land introduces us to a world of wild flavors. Approach it responsibly, respecting nature’s balance. Grab your basket, explore the wilderness, and let these wild ingredients inspire your culinary creations! Dress for the weather as this program will be entirely outdoors.
Garlic Mustard Games
Saturday, May 18, Noon – 3 pm
FREE event!
Join in on some volunteer stewardship this spring by picking garlic mustard right here at KNC! Garlic mustard is a common non-native invasive species that takes over large areas of land thus disrupting once-balanced ecosystems. Get involved and have some fun at the third annual Garlic Mustard Games! Participants will earn the chance to win prizes for picking the most garlic mustard in this friendly competition. Last year’s participants were able to remove over 700 pounds of garlic mustard from KNC grounds in just one afternoon! Let’s see if we can beat last year’s total. Contact Kyra Blum at for questions.
