Early Autumn Plant Walk-About

Come with herbalist and casual forager Reid Giacomarra as we explore the School of Conservation campus in search of seasonal edible, medicinal & historically relevant native, nonnative & invasive plants, trees and maybe even some mushrooms.

Your guide, Reid, has always been fascinated by all things wild, with plants having a particular pull. She’s studied herbalism with David Winston, Rosemary Gladstar and other plant lovers. She has previously worked at the NJ based herbal products company, Herbalist & Alchemist. She also enjoys gardening, foraging, & roaming about our local forests.

This program is open to adults and older teens (age 16 and up). This will be an easy walk over sometimes uneven terrain; comfortable, sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots are recommended. Please dress for the weather, with rain gear or an umbrella in case of light rain! Heavy rain will postpone event to Sunday, October 5th and participants will be notified by email.
